USE OF ANTI-TOXIN.

While there are still few reactionists
in this state. who disclaim against the use
OF antoxin, for the cure OF dphtheria,
they can do so now only by ignoring

treated with antitoxin, the average NOR
tality was little below 20 per cent. That
Is, out of every three or four people who
were taken sick. one died. I'm the days be-
fore antitoxin. But in those cases where
antitoxin Is now being used, beginning
with the first day or two OF the disease,
the mortality is just about per cent,
III the use of antitoxin becomes general
In this state the mortality will be so small
as not TO be OF any account Unfortu-
nately the total OF the state Is not yet
below 10 per cent, because there are still
some people who do not believe In anti
toxin. and who let their children die large
ly because OF the ignorant and foolish
theorists who are still preaching against
the use of 1t. Ignorance OF the statistics
OF diphtheria is the only weapon that will
prevent the use of antitoxin. But even

toxin. the percentage of deaths from dph-
