Continuing, the bulletin says: "The campaign for the immunization of all children of Indiana against diphtheria calls to mind the fact that the diphtheria germ is probably better understood than any other living thing. An enormous amount of study has been devoted to this germ and the study has been very highly productive. We know exactly what the germ looks like. We have special stains for bringing out its striking pereuliarities as seen under the microscope. We have very special culture media for growing the germ so that we may study it and make the diagnosis of the disease. We know exactly the manner in which the disease is spread from one person to another. We know the means by which an epidemic may be abruptly brought to alt end in a community. All the details of laboratory technique for the handling of this germ and the making of throat examinations have been thoroughly worked out. We have means of determining the virulence of this germ. "The toxin or poison which the diphtheria bacillus produces when growing in a rich broth solution has been studied and it is now possible to make an anti-poison, or antitoxin by injecting the toxin into a horse. This antitoxin can then be carefully put up in little vials or syringes so that it can be used for the treatment or the prevention of the disease. Likewise the toxin can be used for testing children to determine whether or not they are susceptible to diph. theria. It can also be put up in no less than three different forms by means of which children can be immunized against this disease. "It would seem from the above that the eradication of diphtheria would be a very simple matter. This is indeed true provided the public can be induced to take advantage ot these means. If everything that is known about diphtheria and the germ of diphtheria were put into practice, there would be no need whatever that a single child should die with this disease in Indiana."
