Scarlet fever and Diphtheria.
(From the New York Times)


1t is a curious fact. but one that amounts
to the certainty of scientific law, that in |
10 instance within many years has scarlet |
fever persisted with any degree of viru.
lence in this city beyond the middle of |
January without reappearing in epidemic
form early in the summer. The rule is, |
in ordinary seasons, that the disease
maintains its position until about the first
week in January, then rapidly subsidies,
and remains in abayance until the summer
season sets 10 or is very near at hand.
Previous to each great scarlet fever epide
mic, 1t has happened that this period of
immunity from the middle of January un-
til the latter part of May has been marked
by a continued virulence of the disease,
not amounting to epidemic. and by a con-
sldlrabie, but not necessarily epidemic, pre-
| valence of diphtheria. Without assuming
relation between the two diseases from
the strictly pathological point of view, ,diph-
liberia is so frequently the sequel to scar
| let fever that practically intimate rela-
ton subsists between them in our vital
statistics, aud there seems to be no doubt
that the same group OF causes is instru-
mental IN promoting the epidemic form of
both. 1t is probably from recent inquiries
that temperture is a more important fact
or in the determination of what type of
zymotic diseases will prevail, other things
being equal, than has heretofore been sup
posed. Indeed, the two factors, relative
temperature and relative moisture, appear
to be the potent causes of tie protean
forms assumed by zymotie epidemics. 1t
is very we'll known that, while scarlet fever
and diphtheria may strike anywhere when
once the epidemic form is imminent. they
have their centres Of developments in all
large cities, and that these centres of de-
| velopmeDt are cotermlnOus, or nearly SO,
with districts in which oyercrowdlng, filthy
conditions, defective drainage and sewer
age, and prevalent surface moisture are
the leading agencies OF disease, MIX may
carry either. as it may carry the seeds OF
typhoid fever, but it is not shown to be a
principal or even an important factor,
Under these principles, the utmost that
can be done is to look to the cleanliness OF
the streets, the correction of defective
sewerage and overcrowding, and the pro-
motion OF conditions OF cleanliness. The
: sooner speculative theories are abandoned
: : and some real work is done by the city
authorities and the board of health, the
. less sure it is that the newspapers viii
: have to record the summer of 1879 as one
of fatal scarlet fever epidemic.
Some of this advice is applicapable t
! this vicinity, and may be servicable to oul
: people, as it not the special duty, or prac
tice, of physicians to advise how to preserve
: health, but to restore it. The prevalenc,
!, Of diphtheria in this city short time ag
s may be attributed to and may follow tn
!. zynotic disease from which SO many of ou
: people are now suffering.

Every moment OF delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends Oh the judicious
choice OF a remedy. The amount of testimony IN
favor OF DR.. Schenck's Pulmonc IS yrup, as a cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought to support Nthe pretentions of any other
medicine. sec DR.. Schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates of many persons OF the highest
respectability, who have been restored to health
after being pronounced incurable by physicians OF
acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup
alone has cured many, as these evidences will
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
Dloy ment of two other remedies which Dr.Schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional rene
dies are Schenok's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills. By the timely use of these medicines, ac-
cording to directions, DIR. schenck certifes that
most any case of Consumption may be cured.
