Deadly Epidemic of Diphtheria In Iowa
the Work of the Animals.
WEBSTER CITY, Ia, Oct. 20.-Rabbits
have caused an epidemic of diphtheria
in the eastern part of the county, and
it has spread to Dows, Iowa Falls,
Jewell junction and Alden. No fewer
than dozen deaths have been reported.
For the last five years >diphtheria has
annually broken out in the immediate
vicinity of Tybithra Lutheran church,
which is used as a school building. A
large number of rabbits have been hi
bernating in that building for long
time, and the physicians have reached
the conclusion that the timid animals
have planted the germs of the disease
which spread among the children. The
church will be burned.
