SECRETS OF
HEALTH
DIR. C. A. L. Reed

VOU have no right to give
4 dlphtheria to anybody.
Nobody has a right to give
diphtheria to you.
Anybody who would Willingly
give diphtheria to another would
he set down as a monster of such
hideous mien that no grand jury
would hesitate to indict and no
jury hesitate to convict him of
attempted manslaughter.
The principles for the protec-
ton of the healthy against the dis.
eased in cases of diphtheria have
become so well recognized that
they have become translated into
ordinances of cities and statutes
of state. But underlying such
ordinances and statutes are Ger.
tain definite ethics involving the
practical application of isolation.
quarantine and disinfection.
In spite of the precautions Of
fered by these measures. namely.
hospital isolation, quarantine and
cisinfection, as many people con-
tract diphtheria now as used to so
years ago. The mortality. how
ever, is strikingly reduced and.
whereas on4, person in three used
to die. now there is hardly one
fatal case in 90.
The reason for this difference
was the discovery of a successful
anti-toxin Provided 1t is given in
time it prevents the disease from
developing and consequently does
not allow the membrane to form
in the throat and choke the pa
tient. However, every day lost
increases the risk of a. fatal issue.
There is, therefore, a distinct ethl-
cal obligation to use this means
of limiting the disease at the
earliest practical moment.
But sound ethics make it CORE
spondingly imperative to diagnose
the disease at the earlist practl-
cable moment.
The early symptoms are sore

times an enlargement of the
glands of the neck. Parents can
not he too strongly warned to
call for the doctor the moment
their child shows any of these
symptoms. Should the parent
see in the throat patches of mem
brane or even white specks ne
should suspect diphtheria at once.
Prompt microscopic examination
by competent observer will
settle the matter.
There can he no doubt that
diphtheria is spread by carriers.
In fact. it was by the inVesti-
gators OF diphtheria that the ex-
istence of carriers of infectious
disease was first discovered. Car
riers are Virulent or non.Virulent.
The public health officer is chiefly
concerned with discovering the
virulent carriers. They are not diff
ficu1t to find in the household or
small institution but hide success
fully in the community at large.
Some carry the inactive but
virulent germs about with them
for time after recovering from
the disease. Others are permanent
carriers, mainly because they have
diseased tonsils OF adenoids.
