DIPHTHERIA.

Diphtheria is probably the most ter
rible of all acute throat affections. It
has been described by various writers
since the first century ammo domini.
The first accurate description was
given by Aretaeus. In the earlier
writings it is known as throat pesti-
lenee. The name diphtheria was ap-
Piled to it in 1926 by Bretonneau.
Severe epidemies have occurred
from time immemorial everywhere and
it is now epidemic in every portion of
the globe. Humanity has been power
less before this greatest of all seourges
but since the epoch making discoveries
of Klebs in 1888 and Loefler in 1884,
leading to the discovery of Behring
later, we have practically gotten the
disease under control.
Every "sore throat" is a possible
diphtheria especially when certain
symptoms are in evidence. There is
such high degree of skill required to
determine whether diphtheria is pres
ent or not that even mieroseopical
findings are not always a safe guide.
One of the most noted writer's on med
zeal subjects says: "the clinical and
meteorological conceptions of diph-
iberia are at present not in full ae-
cord" Diphtheria is defined as a spe-
eife infectious disease, characterized
by a local fbrinous exudate, usually
upon a mucous membrane, and by con-
stituting symptoms due to toxins pro-
dueed at the site of the lesion. We
may add that the lesion is usually in
the region of the throat internally.
The local lesion is the determining fac
tor for from it we take the smear
for examination to determine whether
the diphtheria bacillus is present or not
and what form of the disease and how
much treatment is probably needed to
counterfeit the poison. There are sew
eral types of diphtheria, the nasal, the
laryngeal and the pharyngeal, being
the forms most frequently seen. The
most dangerous types are those that
occur in the larynx and in the pos
terror portion of the nose. All types
are apt to be fatal if not given early
treatment by a physician. The physi-
clan does not rely on the evidence of
the microscope nor does he wait for
the symptoms to become fully de-
veloped but he treats an ordinary sus-
pieious case as diphtheris before the
germs have been detected. Here is
where the doctor emphasizes the slO-
gan "safety first"
All cases of sore throat from which
the presence of the mieroorganism
called the Klebsloeffler bacillus is
demonstrated are considered diph-
liberia. The disease is highly eonta-
gious. The germs called bacilh may be
transmitted from one person to another
or they may be conveyed by infected
articles which have been in contact
with persons suffering of the disease.
Few diseases have been more fatal

All ages may be attacked.
The period of incubation is from ~,

The first symptoms are those Of an a.,

Laryngeal diphtheria is the most
deadly form. The malady begins with
slight hoarseness and a croupy cough.
After a day or two the child sudden!
becomes worse. This occurs as a rule
at night and there is great difficulty
in breathing. The voice may be re-
dueed to a whisper. The color be-
comes pale, the lips and finger tips
livid. Portions of the membrane may
be eoughed up as the child struggles
to get breath. The fever is high. The
attack may reeur the following night
with greater intensity. The breathing
may become so difficult that death re-
suits from arrested respiration. Com
plieations are paralysis, chiefly of the
palate and heart and kidney involve
ment; also serum sickness.
To prevent the spread of the disease
the sickness should be isolated, all ar
tieles that have come in contact with
the patient should be disinfeeted and
all contacts given preventive doses OF
antitoxin, the great cure discovered
by Behring mentioned above. Call the
doctor for all 'sore throats."
