Deaths from diphtheria nown days may properly be charged to neg: lect or carlessness, either neglect to have antitoxin available or carlessness about administering it in time, "the Wytheville doctors were never nest: lectful or eureless. As was pointed out here by the eepresentatives off the State Board cf Health, autitoxin, if adininistered in @ caso that proves later not to have deen diptheria, can do no harm; while if it proves to be diphtheria the admin istration may and almost invarlably does save a life. ‘That was the lesson of antitoxin. ‘The other and probably the moro important. lesson concerned personal habits. Diphtheria spreads by the exchange of nose and mouth secre- tions. If children aro taught to keep out of their mouths all things that do not belong there, they are not apt to have diphtheria even if exposed to It in their own families. ‘The most ordi- nary Method of acairing the disens is through the use of a eup that has horn used by another person. Unfortn nately, diphtheria is like several of the other dangerous diseases, it has so many mild or unrecognizable types that precautions must not be restrict ed to those who retunlly havo the disease.
