Inc. Room 1104. 88 Lexington Ave. Northwest Corner 26th St. New York City, N. Y. Editor Democrat: In your issue of February 1, 1834, ' under the caption "Clinics Held in Two Towns", it is said: "Health clinics for the immunization of needy children against diphtheria were held at Berne and Monroe. Wednesday, with county ' public health nurses. Irene Gerke and Florence Anderson, in charge. One hundred fifty-one children re'ceived the treatments, 162 at Berne and 49 at Monroe.’’ There is a very great difference among medical men as to the value of these inoculations, prophylactic 'and therapeutic. For example: In “The Journal of the American Medical Association”. Apr. 2, 1927, Drs. W. E. Gatewood and C. W. Baldridge say that: "A multiplicity of untoward sequelae have been observed in patients treated with immune serum." "The Journal of the American Medical Association”. Dec. 6. 1919, —l—■ —n— »

The New York "HerilM-Trlbuiie", New York "Times", un<l other pap ers ot May 2, 1933, report, In a telegram from Rome, the death of Di children in Italy from "anti diph lherlu" serum, ami the illness of many other children. To quote: "Many of the children showed symptoms of post-diphtheria paralysis. The Ministry of the Interi ior ordered Immediate suspension .ol further vaccinations.’’ In an editorial In "The Journal ‘of the American M<*dical Association," June 6, 1931, it is said: "Every one who deals extensive; Ily with immune serums realizes [that their practical use Is attended ! with certain menaces . . . anaphylactic shock occasionally occurs . , Th<‘ most common symptom Is a skin eruption, which is usually urticarial but may vary considerably in type. Edema may appear in various parts of the. body, notably the face. Multiple joint pains, albuminuria, leukocytosis and general malaise are sometimes encountered." "The possibility of these occurren< ns may indicate why the use of therapeutic serums awaken hesitancy in a physician faced witli tile possibility of discomfort, harm and even death in a patient despite all care to avert any untoward effects." In "The Journal of the American Medical Association," Apr. 18. 1931. Dr. Ernest E. lions. Chicago, in giving the result of a questionnaire, "Excluding hearsay reports, we obtained records of 140 instances of harmtnl results, including a number of cases in which death was considered to have been caused by the use of vaccines subcutaneously injected. Seventeen cases of asthma were reported to have followed courses of bacterial vaccines, administered to patients who previously were not known to have suffered from asthma.” U. S. "Public Health Reports ”. July 8, 1932, says of diphtheria: "Among the geographic sections, however, the West North Central. South Central, and Mountain and Pacific areas showed excess over hist year of 8 per cent. 18 per cent, and 10 per cent, respectively. In the South Central and Mountain and Pacific group the incidence was not only higher than it was last year hut it was the highest for this period for four years." U.

I the question Is asked by a doctor j If u child has been exposed to u ' ease of diphtheria, would it lie bet- ! ter to give that child "an immuniz- > ing dose of antitoxin or wait and give a large dose of antitoxin If the child developed diphtheria?" Notwithstanding the advocacy of toxin-antitoxin by the American Medical Association, the editor said: "Formerly it was general practice to give an immunizing dose of I antitoxin to persons who had been I exposefl to diphtheria with the idea J that it was harmless. It is now I known that even a small primary I dose of serum may produce alarrn- | ing and serious reactions. It may also render the individual sensitive to serum administered Hiibsequent|ly.
