OXPRIFT SCHOOL REPORT of spreading the disease throughout for the month of May > |the community. An example of this Senior IV--Ross Jackson, Myrtle kind was given by one of the M.O.H.'s He was called to a house as the mother thought that one of the child- ren had croup, but on exaniination the boy was found 'to be suffering from a severe attach of diphtheria. The boy died the next day. There were two other. children in the family, and on examination it was found that = the older boy was recovering from a mild attack of diphtheria, without the fam- ily knowing he had even had it, while! the little girl aged two years who looked very pale and ill was also suffering from diphtheria. This case, Lowever was taken in time and with the use of antitoxin the child's life 'was saved. Education of the public in this matter is of vital importance. It ¢an- not be longer delayed if child mortal- ity from diphtheria is to be reduced. Every sore throat is possibly danger- ous--it may be' diphtheria and it may not. - Only the physician can decide? which is serious and which is not, for the physician has scientific training and memans at his personal disposal make an early diagnosis where other people would not be certain what the ailment was. A remarkable graphic summary of the number "of deaths occurring per 100 cases, according to each success- ive day's delay in getting antitoxin, has been prepared in Philadelphia, and practically the same ratio prevails in Ontario. The number o fdeaths per 100 when the antitoxin was given the first day of the disease is 1. 1; given 'the. second day 5.6; third day 6.8; (fourth day 7.7; fifth 'day 9.2; sixth day 9.3; seventh and later days 11.4. It can thus be seen at a glance that every hour is precious in the adminis- tration of antitoxin, so when little children develop sore throat nothing should be allowed to prevent the par- ent or guardian from calling in a doc- tor at the elise possible moment.
