Diphtheria at Columbus.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The article in this mornings Journal from
a special correspondent of this place, while
containing some truth, implies much that
is untrue. The schools. churches. etc. have
been closed and public meetings Of any
kind prohibited, but that is not sufficient
warrant sor the statements that follow.
There is no danger of ave to and from
this city being interfered with and not even
q thought of such a thing. The city is not
likely 10 be quarantined. Another false
statement is that 1.-The disease has increased
rather than gone down." The fact is,
there are fewer cases now than at any
time since Aug. /. Your correspondent also
revives that old chestnut about lovers
kisses spreading the disease-a statement
that has ueen published in journals, medical
and otherwise. all over the country, and
q statement, like many others, that had
no foundation in fact. The truth about an
epidemic of any kind Is always bad. but
there is no excuse for exaggeration or half
truths. I'D eSnuo"I a. T. NJ.
