IMMUNITY OF
DIPHTHERIA is
EXPERTS CLAIM
Success of Schick Test Is Ex-
planned Before Local
Health Convention.

That diphtheria deaths can be pre-
vented in the future was the word given
10 the city and county health officers of
/ Indiana and members Of the public health
nursing association, in annual conven-
/ tion here, by DIR. Z. G. Kyle of the re-
search department os The Eli Lilly and
Company. DR. Kyle conducted a clinic
at the morning session, showing the effect
Of the Schick test for immunization
against diphtheria.
Several tests have been conducted by
/ DR.. Kyle, one of the most recent being
at the German Lutheran orphanage, $500
East Washington street, where out Of
thirty-one children ten proved positive
or susceptible to diphtheria and the other
/ twenty-one negative, or that they were
not susceptible to taking diphtheriaA))
VALUE OF TREATMENT
is DEMONSTRATED.
| DR. Kyte declared the possibilities Of
! the Schick treatment have been proved
! beyond the shadow of a doubt One
eminent physician, he said, placed sew
eral children who had been inoculated
/ in a hospital beside beds where diph-
liberia patients lay and the disease was
warded off.
The city Of South Bend has immunized
practically every child in the city through
the Schick treatment and the result has
been the practical wiping out of the dis
ease in that city, he said.
/ The test is applied for susceptibility
to the disease, and where the person on
whom the test is made proves positive
! then a n-antitOxin is administered
which makes the person immune. The
treatment is not for the developed dis
ease, but a prophylactic measure entirely.
The serum can be used to control out
/ breaks Of diphtheria, however.
PLAN TO NIMUNIZE
LOCAL CHILDREN.
! Steps soon win be taken to immunize
the children of indianapolis against the
disease, it was stated at the meeting.
DIR. E. G. Freymuth, health officer at
South Bend, who has been leading a fight
in that city for adoption of the Schick
test in the city schools, spoke to the doc
tors on his experiences with the disease.
DR.. Freymuth was opposed by the medi-
cal society of the city, but the business
men and other citizens ainded him, and
the test was adopted. Excellent results
have been attained. he said.
Other speakers at the joint meeting Of
the doctors and nurses were John A Me
| Dowell. director of the health service of
the American Red Cross, at Cleveland,
Ohio, and Mary L. Mathews professor
of home economics, at Purdue University.
