PASADENA, Feb. 29-The subject of
diphtheria, its causes, spread and pra-
vention, was discussed at the meeting
Of the Pasadena Medical society last
evening. There was large attendance
and all present seemed interested in
the subject DR.. r. J. Mohr was the
first speaker, and dwelt upon the cure
of diphtheria and other contagious dis
eases. He showed the difference be-
tween health and disease, giving an
account of tbs processes constantly at
work in the blood. He thought that
we need not fear contamination from
the milk in our dairies, owing to the
careful inspection insisted on by the
health officer. Gases should bs isolated
to prevent contegion. The santa ry
conditions should be carefully at
tended to, and there ought to be in
spection of meat. However, il the
meat is properly cooked there ia little
danger, but persons who eat it rare or
raw run great risks. As to water, DR..
Mohr thought that tiltering it was not
alone sufficient. It should be boiled
and strained and refiltered. Among
the remedies for diphtheria the doctor
favored anti-toxine, which he has lately
used. DR.. Van Slyck said that he had
used this medicine very successfully
upon recent case where the larynx
seemed to be involved. Dr.. Hull spoke
upon diphtheria bacillus. He de-
scrioed the case OF ons Of his own chill
dreu, told of the conditions under
which the dread disease seemed best to
lhrive. OF its habitation and means of
destruction. Other doctors. among
them Drs. Somers, Preager and Glea-
son, joined in the discussion. DR..
Gleason thought that cats did much
toward spreading the disease among
children.
AN ART EXHIBITION
The Pasadena Art association, which
has recently received twenty-five now
members, and is in prosperous condi-
ton, exhibited paintings in the parlors
of Hotel Green this afternoon. The
sffair called out large assembly OF
connoiseurs and devotees. The pic
lures comprised studies in oil, water
co.ors and etchings, and we're hung
along the walls Of the large bali room.
On the south wall where the best light
was to be had, were the oil paintings,
and on the west wall the water colors
sketches of Mr.. Farnham of Buffalo,
attracted, perhaps, the most attention
for their beauty of design and harmony
of coloring. Some of the less ex-
perienced members of the association
made exhibits rejecting great credit
upon themselves, notably Misses John
son and Mellish. Among the artists
represented were Stetson, Ludovici,
