DIPHTHERIA'S HAVOC.
REPORT OF THE NEW YORK STATE
6OARD OF HEALTH.

Important Facts Regarding the Prev
alence of . Dreaded scoarEe-Sugges-
tions Of Vital Interest to Everybody.
Nec ssity of Observation-Disclosures
The annual report of the state board Of
health presents some important facts re-
garding the prevalence Of diphtheria-the
most important of the zymotic diseases.
Probably few persons are aware OF the ex-
tent of the havoc worked by this scOurge.
For three years past almost exactly one
third of all the mortality from contagious
diseases has been due to it, and during tho
past year the percentage showed slight
increase. During the winter months it
sometimes reaches nearly one half the
mortality under this head. The total
number of deaths from diphtheria has
been increasing during the past three
years, being $500 out of so. 400 in 1885.
5000 out of Sc, 500 in 1886, and during the
twelve months ending Dec. l, 1887, 6,21
out Of Sc, 500.
ITS DESTEUCTIvENEsS
1t is more destructive than diarrhua1
diseases, which, in summer, cause two
thirds Of the deaths from Zymotc dis
eases. 1t was especially prevalent during
last autumn, causing 42.2 per cent of the
deaths from zymotic diseases, but did not
reach the grim average Of the preceding
winter, when it caused no less than 476
per cent. of such deaths. Practically the
same state OF things exists in northern
states generally, and in the northern
countries of Europe.
Investigations are steadily in progress
In all countries so afflicted, as to the
causes of the disease, and the possibility
of restricting it. These all point to the
general fact that the persistence of the
disease Is due to the presence Of
filth in some form. Epidemics in
villages and small towns, where the
sanitary conditions are more easily deter
mined than ia the large cities, have
demonstrated this so often that it hardly
needs to be proved. Anything which
poisons air or water may be set down as
a cause of diphtheria, and recent cases
have even brought milk within the cate
CORY Of the agents Of contagion. Lack Of
drainage, and the contamination of wells
and cellars by leaking casspools, are
among the most obviocs causes Of con-
tagion. But there a. others quite as
dangerous, which are commonly supposed
to be harmless. The board reports that
there is too great an indifference TO the
danger from kitchen wastes, which Is
quite as great as from more offensive &C
cumulations The New Jersey board Of
health has also directed attention strongly
to neglected cellars as q cause of dtph-
iberia. This is point of great import
ance, for the air in the cellar will surely
find its way up into the house. A vigil
liant cleanliness is the best preventive Of
diphtheria.

METHoueHT THE ROSE WAS FM

Nethouyht the rose was farest when fun blown,
Ibreathed its festal fragrance and was glad;

But carking care outran cen feeting time
And in the race saw the stripping slain.
Methought that Beauty was joy for aye;

Anon an enyious Nemesis swept By
And on mine idol sent her bhghting seal
Eethought that Love by barsis had been mslznd;
sanctuary gave him in my heart;
E9tsoons the chankksss boy spot did find
Wherein to lodge bis most envenomed dart.
Methought that Life more precious was than gold;
Iprized each pregnant hour with sordlid greed: !.
But when both Love and Youth escaped my hola.
They left me. plundered Eniser, poor indeed
Eethought that Deaths oblivion ended all;

Till one long cherished, gone beyond recall

NECESSITY OF ISOLATION.

The board reports that the experience
of the past year has I4sde the necessity Of
isolation In the treatment Of the disease
more apparent than ever. All the evil
dence tends increasingly to show that the
germs of the disease may be carried by
persons in good health who have been IN
contact with the sick, that they find place
in clothing, bedclothes and all other lab
RIGS adhere to the walls, and wherever
they settle retain their power for mischief
for considerable time. If the patient is
properly isolated, these germs will die in
time, or can be destroyed by fumigation
after the patients recovery and removal.
The board recommends that the isolation
should be for long time, at least until
entire recovery from sore throat.
A special evil is the too early return of
children to school after an attack. In
these two measures-cleanliness and iso-
lation-the sole hope seems to lie against
the spread of diphsheria. A notable in
stance of the effective use of isolation and
distinction on large scale has been af-
forded IN Michigan. The state board OF
health enforced this policy in 116 out
breaks in 1885, in which there were 332
cases and 70 deaths, but in 102 outbreaks,
where no restrictive measures were taken,
there were l $50 cases and 800 deaths
This is sufficient to show that when diph-
liberia has actually broken out, its ravages
can be much diminished by stern quar-.
