If 1t Is diphtheria, the serum will in

The correspondent remarked that
diphtheria is a disease about which
every mother has different theory.
"There are many vulgar errors con-
corning it," said the Doctor. "Nine
times out of ten diphtheria does not
kill, as is generally supposed, by suf-
location. The false membranes
which develop at the back of the
throat rarely cause total obstruction
Of the respiratory canal, and even IL
they did, tracheotomy could save the
patient. But the diphtheritic mi
crobe, which swarms on these false
membranes, secretes poison that,
sooner or later, according to the viru-
lence of the attack, must contami-
nate the blood. My pupil Yersin

discover this 'toxine,' and to have

Neither must 1t be supposed that the
