Statistics just compiled by the

the crusade against consump-

to show results. According to

result, are rejoicing over the
victory, and see in it one of the

Another Prosecution for
Violation of the
Quarantine.

Richmond, Nn.. Nov. 25.-
Determined to aid in protecting
the public against those who
willfully violate quarantine, the
State Health Department today
announced the successful pros
ecution by local health officers
near Richmond of another man
who permitted his children to
leave quarantine when they
had been placed in confinement
by health officers for diphtheria.
The case in point is deemed
OF especial Importance, in view
of the fact that the child i'm
question did not exhibit clinical
symptoms OF diphtheria, but
when his throat was examined
bacteriologically, active germs
were found The health author
tiles contended that the child in
this condition was menace to
children in the same school and
consequently placed the child
in quarantine.
When the father Of che child,
seeing no active symptoms of
the disease, permitted the child
to loaYe home, prosecution was
at once begun by the county
health officer. and the parent
was fined in a magistrates
court.
Coming at the end of an in
vestigation which disclosed "a
number of diphtheria carriers
in the school close GO Rich
mond, this case is regarded by
the health authorities as indi-
eating new line of attack ON
diphtherin
In discussing the case this
morning, the Health Commits
sioner said "The spread of
diphtheria is often obscure. and
and the possible sources of con
tagiOu have to be watched very
closely When our inspectors
found that there were children
in the school who showed no
clinical symptoms OF the dis
case, but who had the germs i'm

Guilty in understanding why a
number Of cases of diphtheria
had broken out in the rooms
where these children were
taught IL is Of vital import
ance to isolate every person who
shows the germs of disease
present, whether that person
shows clinical symptoms of
diphtheria or not. In this way
and in no other can the child
rem who are in contact with
such carrier case, be properly
protected.
