community and the alleged spreading
OF the disease, notwithstanding the
closing OF the schools.
1t is the opinion OF both the medical

no case is eight" or mild" enough
TO omit the use OF antitoxic serum, -
the only means known whereby diph.

the community protected from its raw

Moreover, the mortality by the use
OF this specific has been reduced in
Bennington from some eighty per cent
to an almost imperceptible minimum.
This is our experience during eight
years, wherein patients have been
treated with anti.toxin, aud all expos

orders to send home any pupil showing

order of the health officer, to ascertain

Instances were cited which are not
essential to the argument or needed
for its support In Bennington. The
experience ON which the above opinion
was based in 1901, covered a period of
nine years, and included the five years
