An extract from reliable exchange has
the following truthful article, which, in
view Of the season Of throat troubles hes
ing upon US, is good cnough to be re-
produced and generally circulated;
"A recent case within our knowledge,
in which fatal diphthcria developed upon
what appeared to bc a simple quinsy,
suggests few words regarding the duty
OF isolatins any case of sore throat where
there are other children in .hc house.
Without entering upon any disputed
points regarding diphtheria, ii is gener>
ally agreed that the distinctive visible
sign of it is its peculiar mcmbrancous de
post. A case may present clearly the
condition of common sore throat, and
subsequently diphtheria be Enthusiastically
present. For our purpose it is unneces>
sary to discuss whether such cases are
diphtheritc from the first OF become so.
The point for parents to know is that the
sequence of dangerous symptoms on
those apparently slight is not uncommon,
and that it is better for them 10 isolate a
child fifty times unnecessarily than to be
neglected once.
We would urge then, that, if at all pos
sible.. every child suffering from sore
throat be isolated until it is distinctly
convalescent. Physicians are often ems
| barrassed in urging the isolation of pas
| tients, by the timidity or suspciousness of
parents. If in such case as has been
described the physician recommends the
prccaution of isolation, the family, if
| of the tlmid type, is at once thrown into
panic assuming that the physician
really considers that the case is diphlheria
or that he expects that it will prove to
be, and that he is concealing the facts,
while really he is only taking proper sans
itary precautions.
| Other persons, on the other hand, i'm
mediatcly interpretS the physicians frank
statement of his reasons for isolating a
supposed simple case as an evidence of a
want of knowledge on his part They
apparently think that to the properly ed>
ucated physician diseases are as distinct
and as easily Disseminated as coins of
different denominations. With such PEG,
pie the only course is 10 strongly advise
| isolation and to give the reason for it,
| and to let them take the responsibility of
neglecting the suggestion if they choose
to do so. Intelligent people usually are
grateful for the warning, even if it prove
to have been unnecessary, and although
they sometimes chat the physician as
"fussy.'

The scarcity of tenement houses con
tinues. A large number of working men,
who are employed in this city but reside
in Davenport, would be glad to find VA
cant houses in the lower end of the city,
now that the cold weather compels them
to walk the government bridge twice
daily. There are very few vacant houses
in Rock Island of the kind that are in de-
mand. If people who are continually
boosting of DayenportS growth in popu-
lation and otherwise would mark the
