there is considerable diphtheria

considered a severe case of sore
throat and found that the child
was suffering with diphtheria
that had reached stage where
the use of anto-toxin could do no
good, and death resulted.
Only three cases of smallpox
have been reported this month
and all are on the road to
recovery. The quarantine has
