DIPHTHERIA.
Early Diagnosis and Quick lloo of An
titoxin Imporstivo.
Diphtheria, which waa formerly
one o f the most fatal o f the dis
eases o f children, baa been robbed
by antitoxin o f much o f its death
dealing power. Nevertheleas it is
still a scourge o f childhood.
It is an infectious and contagious
disease that occurs for the most
part in children, although adults
also may suffer. It is due to the
presence o f a bacillus that lodges
and develops on the mucous mem
brane o f the respiratory passages,
where it causes inflammation and
the growth o f fibrous, feltlike
sheet which covers the surface.
This sheet is the so called false
membrane, the visible evidence of
the disease, in itself not dangerous
except when it forms in the larynx.
In that case it threatens death from
choking. The real disease is the
constitutional affection— fever, de
lirium end depression, due to poi
soning by the bacillary excretions,
the toxin, absorbed into the blood
from the mucous membranes where
the bacilli have lodged.
Diphtheria is one o f the most
contagious o f diseases, although, aa
in the case with other similar affec
tions, not all who are exposed suf
fer. It prevails chiefly where filth
exists and where the air is charged
with emanations from decaying
matter, with sewer gas, illuminat
ing gaa or exhalations from many
persona crowded together in unven
tilated rooms.
Authorities formerly held that
the germs could linger for a long
time in carpets, upholstered toys,
especially woolly lambs and Teddy
bears, hooks, and so forth, but
that is now doubted by many sani
tarians, who contend that disinfec
tion o f the room in which a child
has been sick with diphtheria or
disinfection of his playthings is un
necessary. Still, so long as a donbt
exists it is obviously safer to disin
fect. It is qu|te certain, however,
that cats and dogs and probably
birds, such as parrots, may catch
diphtheria from a tick child and so
assist in the spread o f the disease.
The one sovereign remedy for
diphtheria is antitoxin, hut it mast
be given early to be certainly cura
tive. For this reason an early diag
nosis is Imperative. The physician
should be called at once to any child
who has a sore throat if his throat
is seen to be red or covered with
whilish dots or streaks or patches
o f membrane.
l a l riy
treatment not only re
moves the danger o f suffocation
from the growth o f membrane in
the larynx, but also makes much
less probable the occurrence o f the
paralysis that i> often such a dis
tressing sequel o f neglected or tar
dily treated diphtheria.— Youth's

Hotel Bills In England.
The author o f "Portugal Old and
N ew " finds fault with English hotel
keepers for using a printed form o f
bill on which the plain require
ments o f a simple traveler are lost
amid a multitude o f items. The re
sult is that when a guest pays for
a day's and a night's lodging he is
positively almost ashamed at find
ing due registry o f his having want
ed neither liquors nor stationery
nor warm baths nor douche baths
nor shower baths nor pots o f jam
nor the hotel hairdresser and is apt
to reflect what a poor, shuffling im
postor o f a guest he is to have had
so few requirements.
Unappreciated Sympathy.
A passenger who escaped unin
jured from a serious railway smash,
seeing s fellow traveler searching
anxiously among the wreckage with
a lantern, offered to assist in the
search and, thinking the old man
had lost hia wife, asked in sympa
thetic tones, “ What part o f the
train was she in ?** Raising hia lan
tern and glaring at the kindly dis
posed passenger, the old man shout
ed with indignant distinctness that
triumphed over physical infirmity:
“ She, sir, she! I am looking fo r my
teeth!” ________________
Happin«** Impossible.
“ Mr. and Mrs. Wicherly seem to
be such a happy couple.”
“ I think they merely pretend to
be happy."
“ Why do yon sav that ? Have you
any reason for believing they don’t

“ Oh, they may get along all right |
together, hut they certainly can’t *
be happy. She’s getting stout, and
