D pbtheria is virulently contagious and infectious. Membranous croup is diphtheria of tbejlarynx,-is moie f*tal than ordinary diphtheria, and requires extraordinary care Diphtheria may’be acquired by direct exposure of the well to those suffering from the disease, and also through clothing and other articles that have some in contact withfthe sick. One attack of diphtheriajdoes not afford any protection against subsequent attacks. Diphtheria’poison may remain inactive in a House for a long time and. unless destroyed by disinfectants, may cause a new outbreak atfany lime. The spread of diphtheria is fa voied by ■ faulty ventilation. over.crowding. tiltby I condition of habitations and person,!

The Origin of the seeds of diphtheria, j like t hat of corn and wheat, is unknown; ' but it is known absolutely- that every case of the disease proceeds from a previous case. L Diphtheria is more common in the cold mouths, forjtben there is less fresh air in the houses ’and colds and irritated air passages .more, generally prevail. Persons who have catarrh, or who are! subject to sbrejtbroat, or whose health is run dowrj-er who are underfed, are apt to ca ’i h dipt.t, -rsa, M.\ N AUGMENT .1 '!•' DJI-lITHEI IA it. is '»‘ ■ ddlicnP m de'o’’: i; ein t”e ; , lay? ni.\: -wlfeihei or ndMrn r essis Dii ht mria.

When leaving the house’ they i mus: ‘.ash hands and face with anti- i sep'ic soap and replace cap and duster j in the valise The disehfectaut (formaldehyde) in’theivalise will kill any infection. " A person who has had Diphtheria may spread the disease for six or eight weeks from the beginning of the attack. Danger of spreading exists bo long as Diphtheria germs remain in the throat. The physicians must make culture test to u determine this point, *and

no person, after iecovery from au attack ot Diphtheria, should associate, with others, nor go to church or school, I or appear oa 'he street until the throat] :i • longer, shows disease gernls upon • culture. When cultures can not be • made the physician Will have to use Ins best judgment in deciding whether or not the palieiil ma’, safely go out Diphtheria germs have been frequently found in the throats of persons ■ who were qiiite well and wtio were not afterward brought down with the disease Some people are not susceptible to Diphtheria, and the germs, although present oau not grow and cause the disease A high authority tells ota i nurse who carried Diphtheria germs in ■ her throat for a long lime, and intro- ' ducee the disease into five families. ‘ This fact explains in itself in a de- , gree how it is possible for Diphtheria ' to appear when there seems to have ’ been no exposure, and it also teaches, us to be very sure that recently recovered patients are free from Diphtheria germs before they are allowed to again go out. All the clothing of the sick person . should be disinfected before it is worn ; again, not neglecting that the patient had on when taken sick. 1 After recovery or death all articles i which have come in contact with the patient, together with the room and all of its contents, should be treated as follows: purification and disinfection. 1. Thoroughly boil everything which can be so treated. — 2 All articles which can not be boiled must be laid out on chairs. Mattresses should be opened and stood on edge Open all closets, chestsor trunks, but let nothing remain in them. 3. Paste strips or sheets of paper over key holes, cracks, stove-pipe holes and shut tightly all windows and doors. 4. Place a tub containing about two I inches oi water in the room f'ut two l bricks in the tub and on them place a
