DR.. J. A. Paterson was called about
half an hour before her death but
stated she was in dying condition
when he was called, and this being
his first visit the child had been suf-
fering from sore throat for some
time but was receiving home treat
ment. DIR. Paterson decided to call
in the health officer for consultation
after death and after receiving evil
dence from the parents decided to
place the home under quarantine
for diphtheria. TheF recent out
break causes great deal of precau-

health and not having the child's
case before death decided to protect
the public from further trouble
should it be d case of diphtheria.
