There disease* are a»> if Hired in two ways; Jmincdktle, occurring a* the result of dire/ r contact with the sick in *kk i oom ,or in a crowded hall or by in haling tin* droplets as the result of couching or sneezing. Mediate, effects through the med lurn of |>eis<uis or objects, as clothing, ‘‘tc., that Jiave l^n In contact with the siik. Home diseases, as diph theria, ran he carried by persons ap parent|v well, and conveyed to oth er*. While the above diseasse arc railed dlaease* of children, they ar* not limited to any age. A* a rule, one attack confers Immunity, hence. »n Individual having had one of the above named disease* in childhood doe* not acquire It In adult life. Dlph theria Is ths most frequent exception to this fu!e. Experience shows the younger the patient, tha mora aerl ous the disease and tha higher the mortality. Fortunately, Infanta are Jens often attacked than children, aim ply because they ere less subject to exposure than children old enough to run about. Neglect Is Fatal. With these preliminary remarks the writer will give the well established f .cts concerning diphtheria. Without modern treatment this j* one of the oust fatal of the contagious disease**. It Is **td to realize that lives are need lessly sacrificed because of failure to • pply the remedy in lime, because when recognized early, the use of *erum greatly lower* the death rate, bur when neglected for five days the •erurn treatment is of little benefit. As the result of one of the recent Mscovarieg of modern medical science it Is now possible to prevent this dread disease. The gerrn causing diphtheria is as definitely known and as readily rec ognlzed In the laboratory as any ob Ject In nature, as certainly a* th* botanist can recognize one species of plant from another, or the farmer on* •train of cattle from another. The diphtheria germ einborates or ex ■ etf* a poison. This la readily taken up In the circulation and In sufficient quantity if is highly poison ous ^ both to men and animals, Indeed, often 1 a • it I. Kvery child with % sore throat should be examined. Tf there la doubt aw to tbs nature of the sore throat the city board of health w.ill furnish a at arils cotton swab with' directions for using A competent Inspector will be sent to the horns If necessary. Tills f an be sent to* the *c|ty lattora tory for examination free of charge. No child need be neglected on Ac count of poverty. If there be observe*? on the throat a membrane of usually white or grayish yolor, then it 1* safer to give the *ef*um without wait Ing for a report from the laboratory. Kvery family physician Is competent in to I mini nicr th'* *erun) In proper dos< w. Children with diphtheria do not act or Appear as sick as with nc;m>* f»r Kcarlet fever, hence are often sent to school and expose others. If I. i tragedy ib.il any one assuming to treat tbls disease by any method ^Jintild neglect the above men Honed met bods of diagnosis and treatment I ifunis should know that recovery from diphtheria depends In a large measure on Its prompt recognition end serum treatment. Ths Importance nf early treatment has been proven by statistic*, ro certainly that no un hissed person can read the feels and truthfully deny the conclusion. Home Are Immune. Home children are immune to dlph theiin, that la, they will not catch • be disease even when exposed. This J* true of other diseases also. In re rent years there has been discovered • test by which It can be determined what children are siisceptsble and those immune. In former years this disease was more prevalent and more frtl.il In homes and hospitals for dill dreri than with children In the com munlty. At the present time It la banished from all well managed In stitution*. More Important than this lest, medical science has also dl* covered it simple and safe treatment to prevent diphtheria. In New York ♦■Ity this treatment has been given lo over 300,000 dilldren vdth uniform Sticctvs. Kvery family physician mn give this preventive treatment The membrane of diphtheria is not limited to the throat. In some cases It forms in the windpipe. This type was for marly railed membranous croup. It Is now known that tire condition lr diio to the diphtheria germ. The membrane occludes or fills up the wlmlplpe, preventing the entrance of air Into the lungs end eauslng death by suffocation, unless relieved bv In tuhattmi or serum. However, when Brodegaard Has Been in Business 41 Years 1 mm ■ VJ* I'rerl lirodregaard. Fred Brodegaard, one of Omaha * j pioneer burln**» men, la celebrating | hi* 41*t year in the Jewelry bualness j In thl* city. Mr. Brodegaard 1* well known In j Omaha and Nebraaka for hla square dealings and honest business methods. The Brodegaard Institution look* for ward to splendid business this winter. Mr. Brodegaard has planned a sale In commemoration of hi* anniversary that promise* to be one of the great est sales ever held by that institution. This sole stsrt* Monday, to continue throughout the week. recognized early this type of diph theria also' responds to the serum treatment In moat canes. Another type of the disease Is known as nasal diphtheria. The germ developing the membrane In the cavity of the nose, often out of sight. There are three symptoms that should lead parents to suspect the nature of the trouble, namely, evidence of obstruction to the entrance of nlr—a bloody dis charge—a foul odor. It is not to Ire understood that the serum Is the only treatment. Some caae* are complicated hy other dls ease germs and sometimes by other diseases, as for example, measles and scarlet fever. Hence, attention to the diet, the functions of the bowels and kidneys, local and Internal medication are all Important, and should he di rected hy a competent physician. One necessary—Indeed sometimes life sav ing-part of the treatment, seems so simple that It may be neglected, namely, rest In. bed for some days after apparent recovery. Children nattirallA like to' be up and about. They have no fear of conseriuenecs, hence, parents should lie informed as to the reason for prolonged real. The reason for the value of rest Is that the poison of diphtheria, often affects the heart. It'Is like the thief In the night, It I* subtle and unseen. Rest conserves th* heart. It Is heart rend ing for a child apparently recovering to die suddenly from heart failure. In eases where diphtheria develops In families where there are other children or In case a child has a known exposure lo diphtheria It Is possible lo prevent It developing the disease hy Injecting a small dose of serum. However, the protective In fluence does not last more than ohe lo three months. It Is for Immediate protection, whereas, (he toxinantl loxln treatment Is for permanent pro tection. „• % j In roficltiftion.
