The Schiek Test

For many years 1t has been known
that a certain proportion of children
and adults in any community are i'm
mune to diptheria because of the
possession of natural antitoxin. Doc
tor Schick Of Vienna discovered a
very simple method Of finding out
which children are susceptible to
diptheria and which are not. This
method is called the Schick test. He
found that IL a tiny amount Of dip
iberia toxin were inserted by means
OF a fine needle into the skin of a
susceptible child, the toxin would
meet no natural antitoxin and would
act as an irritant. causing a red spot
the size Of a dime to appear. II no
spot developed within three days. II
was proof that the child was inn
mune.
The Schick test is able to give us
much interesting and valuable infor-
nation about immunity at different
ages and under different conditions.
For instance, about fifty per cent. Of
adults living in the country are inn
mune and about eighty-fiye per cent.
of those living In the cities. II
mother Is immune. her infant is i'm
mune at birth and for some six or
twelve months after BIRTH The pres
ence of this transferred antitoxin and
the comparative isolation OF babies
are the reasons why so few Of them
develop diptheria. Between the ages
OF one and three years nearly al
babies are shown by the echtck test

1t was not because he differed
with Mr.. Doyle on the prohibition
question that Mr.. Wheeler failed to
get by the Bristol County doorkeeper.
AS a matter of fact, he was not
known to Mr.. Doyle. The attorney
had been inside once. passing on a
guests card. Then he left the hall
for Il few minutes.
When he tried to get back in with
out a ticket, Mr.. Doyle refused to
admit him. Later Pat learned the
