The anti treatment OF dtphthe-
ria Is made the subject of a circular is
sued by the Chicago Board OF Health.
Tho circular was prepared by Dr.. F.
w. Reilly, assistant commissioner OF
health. 1t summarizes the reports and
statistics made to the recent meeting
Of the British Medical Association, held
in London, by the hospitals and
principal cities Of England, Scot
land, France Germany, and Aus
tria, as well as New York city.
showing the reduction Of mortality
from diphtheria under the use OF the
Roux- -Behring anti-toxin serum during
the past year. Stated In 2 general
way, they show that the fatality OF
diphtheria has been reduced from one
half to two-thirds by the use OF anti
toxin. The facts and figures which
show this gratifying reduction are the
latest authoritative utterances Of medical
science on the subject Of the Roux-Beh-
ring discovery, and seem to indicate an
imperative obligation on the part OF
those charged with the protection Of
the public health. DR.. Reilly's statis-
tics show that during the past ten
years diphtheria has carried OF nearly
ten times as many victims In Chicago
as smallpox, Notwithstanding the
smallpox epidemic Of last year. II
this constant annual loss Of life can be
reduced to the same extent that 1t has
been elsewhere by the use Of anti
toxin 1t is manifestly the duty of the
department to make an effort to that
end, as it Is the duty to endeayor to
reduce smallpox mortality by vaccina-
tion.

But negroes, like other people,
