DIPHTHERIA HAS DISAPPEARED.
THE DISEASE HAS BEEN PREVA-
LENT IN THIS CITY-THlRTY
CASES REPORTED.

Diphtheria one of the most dreaded |
diseases. and which has been so preva- !
lent in this city, has, as far as could be
earned, entirely disappeared. Diph-
iberia is an acute specific, contagious
disease, beginning by an infection Of
The throat and characterized by a local
exudation, and glandular enlargement
and systemic poisoning.
While the disease occurs more or
less throughout the whole range of civ
llization. it is more prevalent in the
temperate regions. 1t is apt to prevail
during the Spring and Winter, but
epidemics have occurred at all times.
The young are more susceptible to the
disease than older children or adults,
the greatest mortality being attained
from the second to the fifth year Boys
seem more apt to succumb to the dis
ease than girls. This is unaccount-
able.
The poison of diphtheria exist in the
exudation and secretions of the fauces,
and il is chiefly by means of these that
the disease is communicated. About
thirty cases existed in this city during
November and several have died. The
Board of Health took precautionary
methods, and the ordinance relating to
the reporting of contagious diseases by
! physicians was strictly enforced.
/ An Evening Journal reporter paid
/ a special visit to several of Whining
| tons leading physicians, ana by each
he was informed that there had been
no cases Of the disease for the past two
weeks Each expressed his opinion
I that it had about passed away.
Dr. Fahey reported having many
cases during last month, but the pa
tients were isolated and have recOv
cred
DR.. Willard Springer reported hay
ing during the month six cases of diph
iberia and eight Of scarlet fever
DR.. ID. NJ Barlow seemed to thinl
that one-haf Of the cases are cause
10y an ever-ready public, always on tn
alert for "diphtheria' gossip. Severa
other physicians voiced the same sen
timents.
1t is thought by many that the dis
ease still exists in the city, despite tn
statement of the heath officers.
