ir . he Dryden Observer 'VOLUME VII. DRYDEN, Ontario, April 29th, 1927. - re Diphtheria (By Nurse K. Osborne) DIPHTHERIA is an infectious disease Its growth generally occurs in the throat, nose, larynx or in the bronchial tubes. During its growth a powerful poison is produced which is absorbed into the blood and tissues and it is 'this poison which brings about the ~ symptoms. The symptons may vary from a mild redness of the throat to a severe formation of a membrane which may cover the throat. This germ may cause little disturb- ance in a person not susceptible and _ they may live and grow in the throats - 4 ~ day lost means so many chances less 'ing the year 1925 research workers |Johnso - to save a child from disease? of persons apparently well. - For this reason it is never safe to remove quarantine from a person until examin- ation of swabs from the nose and throat have shown the disappearanc- of germs. Diphtheria can survive outside the body--exposure to air and sunlight tends to kill the germs rapidly. When the outbreak of Diphtheria was present in Nome, Alaska, the whole American Continent read about the messenger and his good dog, "Balto," who sped through snow and ice to carry antitoxine to the people. Every mother and father in Canada knows that a case of Diphtheria is certain to recover if antitoxmne is given on the first day of the illness, and that ever: Time is the important factor. Dur- have perfected a preparation called "Toxoid," a sure preventive against diptheria. It is good to save a child from death, but is it not better stl Toxoid is safe and absolutely sure, it gives protection against Diphtheria without any bad effects.
