The diptheria outbreak, reported at
length in our last issue seems happily
to have entirely. subsidized. Carl M.
Holt, in whose family one of the cases
occurred, was taken i'll last week and
it was at first thought he had con-
tracted the disease, out it is now posi-
lively known that his malady was not
diptheria. His little daughter, Ber
nice, has recovered and she and MIR.
Holt will both be able to go out of
doors within the next few days. Hell
en- and Ralph Merriam, the two other
cases reported last week, have also
recovered and will be able to go out
as soon as the quarantine is removed.
The schools resumed their sessions on
Monday and the week lost will be
made up at the end of the present
term. The prompt use of diptheretic
antitoxine and thorough fumigation
undoubtly contributed to leave far
different record from what the same
outbreak would have been, had it oc-
Cured ten years ago.
