DIPHTHERIA.

Information Concerning 1t and Pre-
cautions Against Its Spread.
The following extracts are from bulle-
tin on "Diphtheria, its Prevention and
Restriction, issued by the State board Of
health:
Diphtheria is an infectious and contagious
disease. 1t is caused by the growth, or multi
plication Of the diphtheria germ on some Of
the mucous membranes Of the body or on
wounds. Through the aid Of the modern
laboratory methods it is found that many
cases apparently OF only simple sore throat
or Inflammation Of the tonsils, are really
diphtheria, and especially dangerous to the
public for the reason that their illness is too
slight to confine them to the house.
When diphtheria is prevalent every case of
sore throat is possible source Of danger, and
every such case in a person who has been ex-
posed to diphtheria infection should be re-
garded as a probable source Of danger. Diph-
liberia in children sometimes assumes the
form Of snufles, or other acute obstructive
affections Of the nostrils. The dangerous
form Of Group (membranous croup) is diph-
iberia lower down in the throat. 1t also is
contagious and infectious.
In that which we now know, about diph-
liberia and how it is spread, shere ssz two
facts, one of which simplifes the work of
prevention and restrictions; the other COM
plicates it. The one indicates that we need
not waste time hunting amid presumably un-
sanitary surroundings for the cause Of diph-
liberia 1t is simply infection from person to
person. The other teaches us that the person
uhf,i fhos ~ ipfo 80 alx
sick. He may be well on the road to recovery
from diphtheria, or he may have apparently
had only a simple sore throat. The recog-
milton Of the true character of these mild
throat affections is not SO simple a matter as
was formerly supposed. The meteorological
laboratory alone can give the answer in most
of the cases.
When diptheria breaks out the law provides
that certain persons shall do certain things,
and it provides ample penalties for failure to
comply with these requirements o the law.
Parents and householderss shall report every
case to the local board Of health, even when
they do not know, but have good reason to
believe that the case may be- diphtheria. If the
householder knows that the physician reports
the case, that suftices. They shall not do any
thing which, by means Of infectious things,
persons rooms would tend to spread in
fection to other persons, to other homes, to
schools, churches, theatres, etc., and If they
do such acts, they incur the penalty Of the
law, whether they have or have not been
quarantined.
The concealment Of cases Of diphtheria is
a serious offence against the safety and well
fare OF neighbors and the public generally
and as such deserves the full penalty Of the
law which may be imprisonment IL fines cam
not be paid.
Physicians shall report to the local board Of
reason to believe to be diphtheria.

Bought Massachusetts Bonds

The state board of education held a
meeting last Thurday and purchased
$82, 900 worth of Massachusetts bonds
bearing interest at 3 per cent. The
money was from the permanent school
fund of the state and this makes three
fourths of million dollars the school
fund now holds in the Massachusetts,
bonds. The Bay State" bonds are
unusual in that the bonds are not only
guaranteed by the municipality which
issues them but by the state of Mass
achusetts itself, thus making the bonds
doubly secured. The present amount
will be invested in 3's which are now
selling for about "a or 90 cents on the
eastern market. 1t may be that the
bonds can be secured for even lesser
amount owing to the fact that cash is a
rather valuable asset these days.
