obey to attempt to spread the Cos
pei of immunization.
If no longer have to try to
persuade parents to undertake
voluntarily the immunlzation OF
their children, as I had to fifteen
years ago, at least can advance
the arguments which seem to me
to make compulsory diphthcria
vaccination necessary.
There is probably no single
health conquest in the history of
mankind that ranks with the elm
nation of diphtheria. Once among
the deadliest and most contagious
of diseases, it ravaged young peo-
ple at the most promising period
of their youth. Whole families of
children-yea, even whole school
rooms-were wiped out. 1t ran
through whole nelghborhoods,
leaving death in it's wake.
Rare Disease Now
Now barely twenty years after
diphtheria immunization was made
possible, it is rare disease. In
cities in the United States. whose
combined population is over 49,
100000 people, barely one death
per 100000 population occurred
in 1889. In thirty-two cities there
were no deaths from diphtheria in
1889. In twenty cities in the
United States there have been no
diphtheria deaths in 1888 and '39.
This result is all the more re-
markable because every person
who becomes immune to diphtheria
does so by making voluntary in
dividual effort. Diphtheria can
not be eliminated by broad hygi-
enic methods such as are applica-
Bile to typhoid fever by purifying
the water supply. The person who
is rendered immune to diphtheria
must be persuaded by the logic of
the evidence-this is often the
hardest part of the battle-and
they must allow themselves to be

The Schick Test !
Selection of proper cases Is ac-
complished by applying what is
known as the Schick skin test. This
consists in putting some diphthe-
ria toxin in a small scratch in the
skin. If at the end of twenty-four
hours the skin around this scratch
is red it means that the toxin has
awakened a reaction in the chemi-
cal forces of the body and that the
person will catch diphtheria if ex-
posed. Immunization is done to
susceptible people by using a form
of diphtheria toxin that has be-
come detoXicated. 1t is called
toxoid.
The age at which this procedure
should be carried out is during the
young years when diphtheria is
prevalent. Some authorities think
that at the end of the first year is
none too soon. All agree it should
be done before the end of the Sec
ond year.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
L.S.S.-"(D Is undulant fever
acquired only from the milk of
the infected animal, or does it
come also from the flesh, as, for
instance, from rare beef? (2) Are
any individuals so strong and in
such good condition thai they d.
not catch it, even when subjected
to the bacteria in milk or meat?
81 Is it transmissible from one
person in a family to another?"
Answer-(D Undulant fever
has occurred in a rather high pro-
portion in packing house en-
ployees so apparently it may be
acquired directly from raw flesh,
but know of no cases in which it
has followed the ingestion of rare
beef as rather small amounts of
heat will destroy the germ. (2)
Undoubtedly there are many peo-
pie who have immunity to undul-
ant fever. 81 1t is not transmits.

51-year-old Iowan, who is a for

before naming Wallace on the

being irritated by it for some
time. But relief was only tempo
rary and his condition soon be-

and later to Charlotte. It was
found that the grass was in the

causing an infection there. He is

Democrats of the United States
who gathered at Chicago last

of presidential history by nomi-
mating a third-termer, Franklin
R. Roosevelt, for president.
On Wednesday night, the 1910
convention delegates sang, spoke,
cheered, and shortly before a.
M, did what they were expec-
ted to domaine Roosevelt as a
standard bearer.
It was different in 1892 when
the Democrats met in Chicago
for their convention. Roosevelt
was one among many candidates
and was nominated on the fourth
ballot. But it was a different
world 8 years ago and many
changes have taken, place since
that time.
The president renominated,
'drafted' his supporters declared,
