The lords or civil chiefs, were
nominated BY certain noble women
In whose families the titles were he

had great power, for not only could

THE DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH AND SANITATION
PHTHERI
by n. H. Chapman, sanitarian Of
Myndus, N. NJ.

Diphtheria is an acute disease
of the nose and throat, and is
very dangerous.
1t is caused by the diphtheria
germ. These germs not only
cause a sore spot where they
grow. but also make a poison
which weakens the heart.
Diphtheria is a contagious dis
ease. Children catch Il (a) from
others who have the disease, (b)
from those who have had Il re-
Gently and still carry Il and
spread it by coughing and sneez-
ing.
Children may get d~iphtheria
from spoons and cups that have
not been thoroughly cleansed in
boiling water before using. Do
not allow a child TO put in its
mouth candy or pencils that have
been in the mouth of another
person.
You should be very careful
10 protect your children from
diphtheria, and TO keep other
children from getting II II yours
are sick with Il. If one Of your
children has diphtheria the doc
tor, II called in time, may be able
to prevent the others from catch
ing il.
If your child has a sore throat
be sure to call in the doctor. On
ly a doctor can decide whether or
not the case is one Of diphtheria.
II the doctor says antitoXin
should be used. sec that this is
done; il may save the child's
life. In the days before we had
antitoXin, one out Of three chill
dren who had diphtheria died.
Now. If antitoXin Is used on the
first or second day Of the dis
ease. ninety-eight out of every
hundred children recover. The
sooner diphtheria is attended to
the more certain is the cure.
Place the child in a room alone.
Take out all unnecessary furni-
ture. II possible, choose a room
on the top floor of your house,
well ventilated and sunny. II an
apartment house. select the
brightest and most airy room.
DO not allow any person not TAX
ing care of the child 10 come in
TO the sick room. All dishes
used in the sick room should be
thoroughly boiled after use. Be
fore washing, all soiled clothes
should be soaked for an hour in
a tub containing one pound Of
carbolic acid in five gallons Of
water. DO these things and you
will protect your own and other
peoples children.
A child should not be allowed
10 get out Of bed until the doc
tor permits.
Diphtheria may affect the
heart ii the child gets up too
soon.
only after the doctor has stat
ed that the throat and nose are
free from diphtheria germs
should the child be allowed 10 go
out Of the house or to play with
other children.
