is i'll and, while the disease has not
yet been diagnosed as such. it is
thought probable that the little pa
tient has diphtheria.
Several weeks ago another of Mr.
Fox's children was taken i'll and DR.
B. R. Gary was called to attend it
The case looked like one Of diphtheris
so Dr. Gary isolated the child, gave
It anti-toxin and sent swab to the
State health department. After exam
ming the swab, the State health de
partment advised DR.. Gary that the
child did not have diphtheria and the
disease was diagnosed as membranous
Group. The report got out. however
that the child had diphtheria.
A few days ago another of Mr..
Fox's children was stricken with the
same disease and yesterday a number
of the reighbors took the matter up
with w. d. Strailman. the member

after comforting with DIR. Gary, DR..
Jeffery placarded the house. d.. Gary
has sent a swab to Richmond for ex'
animation, but has not yet received
