Diphtheria Increase Is
More Likely In Suburbs

"The fall months of past years
show an increase of diphtheria as a
rule except in communities where
children are protected by toxoid,"
according to Dr. V. L. Ellicott, coun-
ty health officer. can increase is
more likely this year in the subur-
ban area of the county than in the
rural sections as far as school chill
dren are concerned. The reason for
this is that the mmunizaton clinics
held by the health department last
year succeeded in protecting 1870 of
the up county, but only 1870 of the
suburban children"
SIN the suburban schools children
were given Schick tests only and
were referred to their own physicians
for toxoid if the Schick test was posi-
tive. The low proportion which re-
ceived the protective inoculations
were due to failure of many parents
to take the children to the doctors.
If these parents want to have their
children protected before diphtheria
becomes more prevalent, they should
do so Immediately because there is
delay of several weeks between the
incubation and the time that it takes
effect"
