Are you, Hedge, Constance and nodded. “Which shows how error will persist,”” sald the cfficleney man, apparently talking to himself. He stepped around to the rear of the car, unloosed a strap with a deft motion, and swung Con- stance's grip to the pavement, “You may as well alight, Brooke,"” he said. Tommy Treadwell ward and confronte: the grip. “You'd better keep he said grimly. Tommy was quite a large young man, fully as large as Billy Brooke. He was taller than the efficiency man, and wider. But H. Hedge did not appear to be observant of Tommy's bulk just at that instant. He was looking only at his eves. “I can't keep out of it,” he said simply. “It happens to be my duty to s in it. Go in the house, Miss Brooke." Constance remained {mmovable fn her seat and maintained silence. “You're the one that's going in the house,” announced Tommy, clenching his fists. ““And maybe they'll carry you in, if you don't get out of here in about ten sece onds.” “I'm sorry you about it,” sall Hedge. *Well, if you're sorry, beat it!

HUGH 8, CUMMING | Surgeon Cieneral, United Etates | Public Health Service. Man was familiar with diphtheria |1ong before the Christian era. The car 1613 was known in Spain as “diphtheria year,” and medical his- tory is full of accounts of disastrous epldemics of diphtheria in nuny parts of the world, In 1821, a French physician dem- onstratad the fact that diphtheria was heliig spread among the troops by the common drinking cup, and he it was who deseribed this disease |very carefully, and gave it its prese ent name, Not much more was learnad abont {dtphtheria until 1888 and 1884, when {the diphtheria germ, a microscopic plant, was discovered and proven to | be the cause of this disease About the use n discovery of the bacillus of diph- theria was that of determining by a bacteriologleal cxamination or not a child or other person who has & sore throat is suffering from diphs theria. This is now an almost uni- versal practiee where modern phy- siclans are to be found, and to let a child become serionsly 11l or die of Afphtheria without a bacterlological examination when one can be had would not only be a disgrace, but it would be criminal, lecause 1he earler the disease iy recognized, e |better the chances are of saving the s life. { Shortly after the discovery of the diphtheria germ it was found that |when these germs are grown in the laboratory they produce a polson known as “diphtheria toxin,* and that the germs and the toxin can be separated from cach other by a pro= cess of filtration, This toxin can so strong that the lun- dredth part of a drop is sufficient to kill an average sized guinea pig. Later it was found that by giving an antmal repeated injections of di- lute toxin, it would becoms resistant or immune to diphtheria—in other words, that you could not kill the animal with the disease itself. By further experimentation it {t] found that the blood serum of an animal so immunized would cure diphtheria in a human being, if glv- en In time, This spe | first o of this w ¢ developed serum is ia antitoxin” 1t nets by counteracting the effect of the toxin produced by the growth of |the germ in the body, or in tha throat, to be more ex The next step was the discovery of the fact that the giving of anti- toxin to persons who had been « posed to diphtheria would prevent |their becoming 11l of this dJiscase, | This protection does not lust mors than a few weeks, so our scientists went still further, and gave us final- wonderful, (o very use- ures, namely: the Schick |test and toxin-antitoxin fmmuniza- tlon. | The Schick test consfsts of the in- !jection of a few drops of a prepared |diphtheria toxin into tha skin. The |skin is then observed carefully to {see whether a characteristic red |spot appears where the injection is !made. If within two or three days such a spot does not appear the doce | tor knows that the person is not sus- |ceptible to diphtheriu. All parents want to know whether or not their |children can catch this discuee. The Schick test will tel) fhem. For those on whom the gharacter- tstic redness appears and who are |tnerefore known to he liable fo |diphtheria T would advise a course {of protective injections, When toxin- |antitoxin is injected into persons who {have been shown by the Schick test [to be liable to diphtheria an im= munity is established whereby they lare prevented from catching the |disease, even though they may bs |exposed to it. The protective treat- |ment consists of three small Injec- tions, These injections are given a i\\'e»k apart. They are harmle: The protection lasts for years, per- | haps throughout life in many cases, | All children over one year of age should be given the Schick test. Children who are nursing, possibly |because of some protective suh- stance in their mother's milk, seem [to have usually a natural immunity to diphtheria, hut this immunity is nearly always lost after the child is weaned. After a child is ten years old he is less liable to contract diphtheria, though he may do so. Few grows people catch the disease, Colds Broken in a day Hill's act quickly —stop colds in 24 hours.
