Dr. Middleton will be glad to answer questions on Public Health mat- , tors through this column, Address him at Spadina house, Spadina Crescent, Toronto. In the prevention and treatment of diphtheria, we often hear the word 'Antitoxin" used, but how many of us eou•ld give a satisfactory explanation of what it means? Misinformed per- sons, oftentimes noisy and trueculent in attitude, announce that antitoxin is a "filthy animal product." Were this true, it would be the height of foolishness for physicians to make use of it in the prevention or cure of disease. But it is not true. Antitoxi cannot be rightly described as a "filthy annimal product," but rather as a serum made from the blood of the horse under government regula- tion which require every precaution to ensure absolute cleanliness. Many people will ask why horse's blood is used forthe treatment of • diphtheria. It is because the horse is a very suitable animal for the pur- pose, and it contains lots of blood, from which the serum can be made at email expense as compared with other animals not so common. The horse, too, is a strong animal and its blood is even more suitable than the cow for 'the ppreparation of antitoxin. What causes diphtheria? It is caus- ed by minute plants only seen under the microscope, getting into the nose and throat and growing on the mucous membrane, just as larger plants which Fare visible to the naked eye, grow in the garden. While the individual diphtheria plants are too small to be seen, the beds of diphtheria plants are fainly visible in the patient's throat, him seriously if not dangerously ill: So, except in cases where the larynx is closed up so as to prevent breath-, ing, a person who dies from diph= therm really dies from poison. Someone will now perhaps ask why does not every exposed person take diphtheria and why does not every person who takes it die? In fact why hasn't the human race long since been wiped out by contagious diseases? In the case of diphtheria, it is because healthy persons have in their blood a natural resistance or antidote which p1'0 lents the miseroscopic plants from growing, and neutralizes the poison produced, even if we do "take" the disease. This is what is known as an antidote, anti -poison or anti -toxin. It is our natural protection against all binds of invading germs, andwhen we get into a condition which we often describe as '"run-down", it simply means that our supply of natural re- sistance is exhausted, or at least lower than it should be. That is when we are most susceptible to disease, for the invading germs have nothing to stop their onward march, and so we become sick and .feverish and show all the symptoms of an attack of illness. If a child takes diphtheria, it is be- cause its natural immunity or power of resistance is low and it hasn't enough of its own antitoxin to resist the illness. What do we do then? We simply help the weakened child by trying to remove part of the load he pp is carrying and which is too heavy for forming white spots or patches. Some- him. In other words we do what any times these patches are confined to the sensible person would do, give him tonsils and surrounding tissue, but enough antitoxin to fight off the dis- once in a while they spread to the ease. We borrow the horse's strength larynx or passage leading to the for the child who needs that steength. lungs and interfere with breathing. We take from the horse's blood the But whatever part of the throat is `affected, the chief hares, apart from interfering with breathing, is done by the poisons or toxins which this growth of diphtheria secretes. As the membrane on the throat grows, so the poisons are produced, and these are absorbed by the patient, often making antidote which it has in abundance to help the child who has.not enough and who is dying from lack of it. Common sense, isn't it, when once the process is explained. But that is in reality what all scientific knowledge really is—an application of common sense to the facts of life.
