Every sore throat should merit close atten- tion. It may be diphtheria, even if there is little or no membrane to be seen. The throat from which Park and Williams, the noted diphtheria specialists of New York, secured the most virulent of diphtheria toxins had no membrane whatever. If your doctor has the slightest dou:'�t about the~case, have him take a swab for diagnosis,' .1 and while he is waiting for the report let him give the patient a dose of antitoxin. If it turns out not to be diphtheria, so much the better. If it 3s diphtheria your child, it ,nay be, has twenty-four hours' start with antitoxin. Sinceit is well known! that nearly all cases of diphtheria which- are diagnosed giTen antitoxin oi l the first day recover; ea' rly dosage is of great importance. in the cityof Phil- ,: p adeiphia 761 consecutivecases of this disease were givenantitoxin on the first day and all °recovered. , Sometimes children who have ; been given anti- toxin show a rash,.' which is alarming"to somesimilar people. It is a rash to that occurring in certain persons when they eat shellfish, tomatoes, or strawberries. All that the rash means is that certainersons are susceptible: = to protein or albuminous substances contained in the horse serum carving the antitoxin. The contained antitoxin has nothing whatever to do with caus- ing the. rash. If a similar quantity of horse serum or broth were injected ' under the skin of a susceptible, person.. a similar rash would occur, Some persons will never show .a rash with seruim of any kind, others who react easily to proteins show it everyytime. The ort- ' rash, apart from the uncomf able sensation, does no` harms Dose of. Aatitoxjn. Then there is the question of tiie dose. ; There is no more danger from ., 20,000 units than there .is.frohs$,000, so the large size of z.Lthe doseneednot cause any concern. Almost anycase of first-day receive st ay diphtheria should racer 5;0010 unitV1- If severe, especially if a day or two has 'elapsed; the dose should, be much increased, •say to 10,000 or 20,;0100 units; In laryngeal or 'advanced eases, the remedy should be, given in the veins intr venousl ') so . • ' as to get up;; against the toxin in the blood" as soon,as. possible. Now that , Diphtheria Antitoxin is supplied free by the Provincial Board' of Health "„:- to everyone, we should hear less about death from the disease in Ontario. t” Medicines are of certain value. Good tonics are -useful. Good food ,. at regular intervals is essential. It is most important that the patient have absolute rest 3n bed all through the course of the disease and for a week ori two after the serious symptoms"such as fever, rapid -pules, swelling of tho neck glands have subsided. The heart muscle in diphtheria. becomes weak c and soft and some patients who have got about too soon•have died suddenify, A case of sudden' death in diphtheria must 'not be attributed to the a " toxin. administered. It has nothing to do with causing death.. It is , less, , Remember this about antitoxin --that it is, when used early a proper doses,' a ,most marvellous ruse: for a disease which twenty or twenty-, five years ago was the terror of the- mothers of,our country. The fact that t this terror of the disease has disappeared is due to antitoxin alone. iviembranous,,.croup is r it diphtheria. it is diphtheria` of the larynx' of a ind pipe. The reason it is `so fatal- is because the membrane; and racist, `=i tissues of the',small windpipe of the childa�yt is easily plur; ed u and as result the child suffocates. Promptsaud vigorous treatment is needed in such cases. in addition .to' theuse of antit" ' oxen (given intravenously) in- tubation, that is the introduction into the windpipe of a metal tube is often a life-saving measure. Tracheotomy, since the introduction of intubation, is less used. There are 'certain quack advertised for the prevention and cure of diphtheria..'' None fl : of thein are: of any value..
