SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

What a magical change has
w been affected in diptheria
since the bacillus of the disease
was discovered by kiebs and
Loffler, in 1884! But for some
time no advance was made in
the control of the disease.
When the specific antitoxin
was discovered about 80 years
ago, however, 1t became possible
vastly to improve treatment.
The anti.toxin is obtained from
the serum Of horses that have
been made immuns TO the disease
by a series of inoculations. THE
use Of anti.toxin as preventive
il, however, very limited. 1t is
possible to protect small communi'
ties PRESIDENT institutions, for in.
stance) by injecting precautionary
doses Of anti-toxin, but this spas
sive" immunity passes off in less
IMAM eight weeks.
Then, too, there is always risk
In serum injections of making
patient sensitive to serum. Some
persons become, after one injec-
ton, what is called "anaphylac-
tic" meaning that second dose
is violent poison to them. Anti.
toxin has saved thousands of lives
and is not to be despised, hut it
leaves a great deal to be desired.
A great advance was therefore
made when Schick discovered
how to test whether person was
susceptible to diphtheria and
when. shortly afterwards. various
means were discovered Of making
susceptibles actively immune.
Trousseau 1s01.1S6S) first dis
covered that some people mere not
susceptible to diptheria. b eFdAr
to prove 1t was infectious. he at
tempted to give himself the dis
ease by transplanting diptheria
membrane to his tonsils, but he
failed. After the discovery of the
bacillus. it was found that many
people carried the germs about in
their threats without having the
disease; these are called healthy
carriers"
DR.. Bella Schick in 1907 and
1903 tried to find q skin test for
persons liable to diphtheria, on
the lines of the tuberculin test for
tuberculosis. He found that,
whereas the poison of tuberculosis
only causes a reaction when the
patient has the anti-bodies in his
tissues, the diphtheria toxin acts
only on those who have not SUI.
ficient anti-toxins in their blood.
A person, otherwise susceptible,
gives no reaction to the Schick
test after a dose of anti,toxin.a
In order to test whether a per-
son is liable to diphtheria, there
fore, all that is necessary is to
apply a small quantity Of the
poison to a place on the skin.
If an inflammation appears, he is
in danger; IL the skin remains lln-
changed he is safe.
A person becomes naturally i'm
mune to diphtheria by receiving a
number of doses Of infection which
are too weak actually to produce
the disease. A baby is born with
it's mothers immunity, such as it.
Is. and after a few weeks this
wears off and II becomes very
liable to the disease. but gradually
builds UP Immunity through this
process Of continual slight ex'
posurs. -
