The Vigo County Medical society held and interesting meeting in its room in tho court house on Thursday evening. Diphtheria was the subject under consideration, and there was a general exchange 6f viuws and experiences. Dr. A. W. Spain, secretary of tho board of health, submitted a report of the number of cases reported each month this year, together with the number of deaths from the disease, as fellows: January, 24 cases and 12 deaths Februrry, 28 cases and 6 deaths March, 24 cases and 3 deaths April, 12 cases and 6 deaths May, 14 cases and 4 deaths June, 9 cases and 1 death July, 11 cases and 4 deaths August, 37 cases and 8 deaths September, 131 cases and 16 deaths October, 114 cases and 16 deaths, and November, 64 cases and It) deaths. This makes a total of 468 cases and 95 deaths, or nearly 20 per cent of deaths from the cases reported. But the number of cases reported do not really represent the number of cases in town because in namerous cases where the house has been carded once subsequent cases have not been reported. Then there hare been many cases never reported at all, while numerous cases which have been nothing worse than sore throat have been called diphtheria. It was agreed that hereafter all cases would be promptly reported.
