Within twenty-five years there has come a
great change. After much study and experiment,
diphtheria a~ntitoxin was found to be a success in
the control of this disease. In New York City,
during this period of time, the deaths have been
reduced by eighty per cent and the number of
cases has been decreased by thirty per cent
by the preventive methods which have been
developed.
Within the last two years forty-eight special
preventive clinics have been provided in the city
by the Health Department. Competent child
specialists are in attendance and treatments are
given without charge.

is a real preventive of this disease. DIR. William
