PROTECT YOUR HEALTH Stories Dealing With Care Os The Body And Treatment Os Diseases (By Benj. F. Beavers, M. D.)

DIPHTHERIA Diphtheria la a bacterial disease, which spreads usually quite slowly, but breaks out in epidemics at time. Such cities as Chicago have !>een visited by wide spread epidemics The number of deaths from this disease formerly was quite high, but ha* been greatly lessened by the use of antitoxin, and earlier recognition. George Washington died of the disease. Diphtheria affects the mouth, the nose, throat, and the upper air passages, causing a membrane to form in these locations. It is spread directly troj|£ person to person, or inderectly by such things as toys, handerchiefs. pencils, milk, etc., which have been used or come in contact with a patient having the disease. Souse persons carry the germs of diphtheria In their nose and throat, without getting it themselves, but are ible to give it to others. Diphtheria is in itself a very serious disease, but less so than formerly. because of the present treatment, that is the use of anti toxin, which If given early enough prevents further lievelopements. There are also comp , Mentions of a serious nature which 1 my follow, sue h as heart disease and paralysis. paralysis occurs in a certain timber. affecting usually the palate, but may produce a paralysis of the eyes, limbs and the respiration This paralysis is due to a poison, or

as a physician would say to a toxin. The paralysis passes off Its a rule after the toxin has thoroughly gotten out of the body. In so6te cases, where the muscles of are affected, the patient Is unable to breath, and would die if the breathing were not kept up by some artificial means. In such cases the breathing is often kept up for days until the toxin or posion leaves the body, then the ability to breath returns. Diphtheria, like small-pox could be prevented, if people wished to take the trouble. Some people are immune to the disease, that is can not, take it Those who are immune and, those who are not, are determined by , a skin test, called the Shirk test. The test consists in giving .an injection in the qkin of the arm. If after several days, a red spot appears where the injection was made, the person Is susceptible, that is can take diphtheria. If no red spot appears lit this time, he is not susceptible, that is I can noLtake it. Those persons who I are likely to take the disease, can , then be treated with a toxin- anti-, toxin preparation which makes them immune. The Shirk test is only to determine whether a person is likely or no' to contrart diphtheria. It does not prevent the disease. The toxin-anti-' toxin, taken afterward* prevents J diphtheria.

I and a member of other star ball play-1 ers probably will be invited to join' the New York Giants and the Chi-! cago White Sox when John McCraw i takes them to Europe next fall. Following the suggestion of John A. Heydelr, president of the National! league, it may be that McGraw’s ( i plans will be altered and instead of the Giants and the White Sox, a team ' of picked stars from the National and American leagues will be sent on the 1 tour. Believing that Etr.opeans should be shown the best of all the players it is certain that Babe Ruth and Roger Hornsby will be asked to go and Eddie Roush, Harry Heilman and other 1 leading player* will also be invited. McGraw has become so steamed up 1 with the prospects of missjpnary work that he is now figuring not only ;n taking two teams to Australia after the 1925 pennant races, but he had an I idea that he might be able to promote i a regular league in Australia.
