From the Boston Journal OF Chemistry.
DR.. Emil Querner, Of Philadelphia, sends
MS the following note on this subject,
which will interest our professional readers
even If they are not prepared to accept the
authors theory. After . laborious and
s~crutinizing investigation into the cause OF
o large number Of cases Of ~diphthcria that
have come under my caro- during several
years past, l have almost arrived at the
conclusion that the primary infection OF
an individual comes from the fungi which
are found as spots of different colors on the
exterior of fruit, particularly apples. As
far as the power Of my microscope has
shown, these fungi seem identical with the
fungi from q diphtheritic ulcer; md last
autumn l traced n number of cases, at one
time five together in one family, back to
the eating Of apples picked from the
ground in orchards without previously
cleaning the fruit by rubbing or washing.
The prevalence of this dreadful disease in
the three last decades may well be ACCOUNT
ed for by the fact that the appearance
fiourshing Of lower vegetable and animal
organism is periodical; OF which We have
