J. Scholes Some of the germs which cause dis- ease produce certain poisonous sub- stances called toxins, Among the more conimon of these germs is the bacillus which causes diphtheria. Many of the"symptoms, complications andafte,r effects of this disease 'result from the damage wrought by the to- xin of the diphtkeria The effort of.' the system to resist invasion by the germs of diphtheria resalts in certain protective reactions on the part of the tissues of the body. One result of these protectiVe reac- tions' is the formation of a Visible fal- se membrane. The place where the false membrane „forms is the place where the germs of the disease have attacked the bodY.- Hence, the ordin- ary attack of diphtheria is character- ized by the formation of patches, or a false membrane, on the tissue which lines tlie inside of the throat, But the sore throat, and.the forma- tion of a false membrane, is only a part of an attack of diphtheria, ,The gertns that are present in the throat give off their soluble poison, or toxin, which is absorbed into the system. And the possible damage that may be done 1>y this -toxin after it is absorb- ed, is, perhaps, the most serious dan- ger of an, attack ofdiphtheria. Sd thc tissues of the body make an effort to protect themselves agains'i' the harniftil effects of the toxin. They Produce aesubstatice vy-liich neutralizes tile toxin and renders it harmless.
