New piphtherla In Serum.


The newly discovered method of ire
venting the spread of diphtheria by
persons convalescing from the disease
is being introduced into Wisconsin by
the hygienic laboratory OF the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, which is about
to furnish physicians of the state the
necessary germ cultures, free of
charge. The germ frequently persists
from thirty to fifty days in persons ap-
parently well and these persons, while
not sick themselves, can transmit the
disease to those with whom they come
in contact Cases are on record
where the germ has been found for
more than year after the person had
recovered from diphtheria These
convalescent persons, together with
those who are known as "diphtheria
carriers" present serious problem
to the health officer. The uniform
success of the germ culture treatment
in the prevention or the spread OF
diphtheria, since its discovery two
years ago, led DR.. M. P Ravenel OF
the university hygienic laboratory to
decide to furnish the cultures to ply
sicians.
