DlPTHERlA
Protect The Children. AntItoxin the
Remedy.

BY W. s. feathers. NJ. D.. State board Health.
Jackson. Miss.
This Is the d:ptheria season and
every precaution should be taken in
the towns and cities, also in the ru-
raj districts in protecting the chill
dren against this serious disease.
There is great deal of diptheria at
present in certain sections of the
sGate and 1t is spreading because of
ignorance and carelessness on the
part OF many Of those concerned
The child that contracts diptheria
while attending school should by no
means be permitted to return to
school until a sufficient time has
elapsed for the dipthera germs to
disappear from the nose and throat.
If this is not adhered to rigidly it
means other children will contract
the disease.
The State Board of Health has
regulation requiring that no child be
released from quarantine until two
negative cultures are obtained from
the throat. That is, the throat
must be free of the germs rs shown
by laboratory tests. Any physician
or person who violates this regula-
ton is subject TO penalty. The state
HYGIENE Laboratory makes these
tests free of cost to the people.
IL is not generally known that a
great deal of the disease spreads be-
cause of carrier" cases. This means
that the child, although well, has the
organisms in his throat or nose and
by sneeAng or coughing, others con
tract the disease from him, 1t is
frequently necessary in order to
control diptheria to obtain swabs
from the Threats of all children in
che school room where the case of
diptheria has occurred, in order to
BOe ~ VI puC tdi iiCI tdSc lfOul
whom the disease was contracted by
the susceptible child This should
be invariably done where the case
occurs in family. 1t is often the
case that other children in the family
although they do not have the dis
ease, they may become Carriers. -
For this reason the throat of all
members of the family should be
swabbed and culture made for exam
ination before being released from
quarantine.
When child is taken, If antitoxin
is given the first day, experience
shows that practically all cases are
cured. Each day of delay thereafter
increases the danger and statistics
show that when antitoxin is given s
days later the death rate is about
70 per cent and each day thereafter
the death rate increases. Parents
and all people should be considerate
OF children in dealing with a disease
fraught with SO much danger.
