RELATIVE VALUEL3 OP DIPNTAERIA REMEDIES, To the Editor of The Trtbure. CnicAao, Jan. 22.—I deslre to say a fos words onthe preventionand cure of diphtherin and scarlet fever. The prevalence of these discases asan cpidemlc, and the clajms put forth in be- half of sulpho-carbolate of soda and belladonna as remedicr, render cverything which tends to eatavlish the truth or falelty of such claims of absorbing Interest to thuusands in this eity, It will not do for the people to juinpto the conclusfon that the theory of tha septic orlzin of these discases Is eatablished, or that the auti- #eptle treatment so trongly recommenided by Dr. Beebe Is the proper treatment for thelr pro- vention and cure, merely becauso one physiclan believes that theory sud recommends that prace tee, It s at hest no more thann theory, and as such muy turn out to be true or false. If expe- rience shall demoustrate that the antlscptic treatment does afford protection to those ¢: posed Lo infectlon, and docs increase the propor- ton of recoveries In those attacked, that wonld Ro very fartowards demonstrating - the correct- ness of the theory, What the public now neea are facts proving thut these resuits follow the sdministration of sulpho-carbolate of soda. We henr of deaths on every hand, and it {3 desirable that we should know how many of these victims used this rem- medy asa preventive, and yet were stricken duwn; how many relied on it3 curative powers and yet perished, Let every family that has ueed this remedy In the presence of the epldemic l:l\-e ua the resilt, whether it be for or against ts reported eflicacy.

At Curgles he sdministered bella- donna to the children of the public school, and all wha took the remedy escaped, while the few who refused to dosu were attacked. ‘The way (n which Dr, 8ticvenart administered it was todissolve two grains of the estract of hellndonna 1n an ounce of any arematle fnfu- slon.
