Diphtheria Can Be Prevented

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. 1 DIPHTHERIA is comparatively rare at the present time, chiefly because masses of people in the large cities have taken their doctors’ advice and have given their children Injections to protect them against this disease. Unfortunately, because of this decline, many people have be 5 - \ come careless and now neglect the proper injections to prevent i the disease, so it is actually beL coming more and more frequent again in many places. The records now show that certain parts of the nation have had startling increases in the occurrence of this disease in the last few years. Can Be Prevented We should look on these outbreaks as a sin when due to \ neglect of inoculation, for the disease can definitely be prevented. But when it strikes it can cause many Natalities, and its complications can permanently damage both the nervous system and the heart, \ \ ' Diphtheria, is an Infectious dte- - ease transmitted by a type of bacteria. Usually the membrane lining the throat or the nose is affected first The disease becomes entrenched and causes a localized infection with formation of a membrane. In some cases this membrane may spread down into the windpipe (trachea) leading to the lungs, causing a difficulty in breathing which may choke the person to death unless an opening is made In this tube. Because of the infrequency of diphtheria, it at times may be a very difficult disease to diagnose. A definite diagnosis is made only

South Koreans. These views dis-J for slightly from those of some Republican congressional leaders. ■ — . Wilbur Petrie and Richard Macklin will head the annual Red Cross drive in this county and city, assisted by a corps of volunteers who believe in the unselfish work of the Red Cross. The quota assigned the county for national apd local chapter needs is $11,152, which averages less than 50 cents per person in the county. The Red Cross does so many acts of mercy it is impossible to enumerate them [all. The blood donor pro gram launched last year has been of inestimable Value to the troops in Korea and to hospital patients in this country. This year the Red Cross incorporates the gamma globulin program for the National Infantile Paralysis*. Foundation. The Red Cross carries on its work .every day and we are asked to contribute funds for its I widespread services only once a year. \ .p. Jo 1. No Tax Limit:— There has been a provemeht to limit tljie taxation power of the federal government th 25 per cent. To accomplish this it would be necessary for 32 state legislatures to ratify a resolution ( calling for * a constitutional convention to make the change. For a time the movement seemed destined fdr success hut a recent United Press survey that it has lost ground. 1 | ; Former President Truman op- ' posed the measure and has spoken out against it on several casions. The Ihrge ’labor unions . also oppose it and maijatain that it would shift the . tax burden from the rich to the poor.; Despite this opposition it seethed sot |a time as. if the 25 per cent rule would be pushed through. However President Eisenhower has declared himself against the measure on ' the grounds that it would be dangerous Limitation on the govern- . ment in future emergencies, v Thus it appears that no'Set limit on taxation^' will, soon be placed in effect. Taxes sere not popular but they are necessary and the principle of the graduated tax, collecting the most from those best able to pay, seems to be 1 the fairest way of getting the money necessary to run the government.

by taking a sample of the infected material and examining M under a microscope. Once the disease is manifest, severe damage may occur to ths heart. Both the muscle and lining of the heart may be injured permanently, and death, may even result. The heart damage is caused by a substance given off by the diphtheria germ, which is known as a toxin. The toxin can also affect the nervous system, usually first attacking the nerves of speech and breathing. However, muscles all over the body can be affected by this disease and permanently paralyzed. The severe and lasting damage to the body from diphtheria i makes it the duty of parents to see that their children are immunized. Whep a child has a sore throat, a physician should be consulted immediately. If there is any suspicion of the disease, he will give diphtheria antitoxin, a neutralizing substance which will prevent the dread complications. When la*ge doses of antitoxin are administered early at once, not in several small doses, the disease, as a rule, is brought under control. \ , QUESTION AND ANSWER J. T.: 14 it true that a person with type O blood can have a transfusion of Any type of blood? Answer: This is net true. A \ person with typ»o blood can usually give a transfusion to a person with a different type of blood, but when in need of blood, he cart only receive it from a person with \ type O blood. A person with blood of type AB, Wikh is very rare, can receive blood from anyone. \' r . . 1 ' ■ ’’’ ■
