"Don't put off having your babies Immunized with the expectation that, should your child come down with the disease, your doctor will .surely save the child. He will do So, of course, if he can. But please remember that (1) Doctors' are scarce, and he may not be able to come to you for several hours after you call, and diphtheria works fast (2) Your child may be at the point of death before you know that he is ill at all. (3) Diphtheria often appears in the nasal passages only, or in the larynx (vocal cords) only, with no membrane visible in the throat. In such cases, your doctor cannot always be sure of the diag nosis until it is too late. "Most infants whose mothers are immune to diphtheria are immune themselves at birth, however, this immunity is fleeting, so that research has proven that nearly all children are susceptible at 6 months of age.

McGuirehealth officer, reminds us each year of the once serious and often fatal disease, diphtheria which as played so prominent a part in the history of this country and throughout the' world. Diphtheria is not yet conquered. North Carolina loses babies every year from diph theria, not withstanding the fact that the law requiring immunization of every North Carolina child during the first year of life has been in ef-, feet for ten years. "Why Diphtheria occurs in most instances in the fall and winter months has never been explained.
