THREE DEATHS FROM
DIPHTHERIA IN WEEK
Health Commissioner Connell
Makes Statement as to the
Use of Antitoxin for
Patients.
I MRS. E. B. BANISTER.
Three deaths from diphtheria within
a week have prompted Health Com
missioner Connell to make this an
nouncement to physicians:
"Not less than 10,000 units of anti
toxin should be used for the initial
dose in any case and in most cases
20,000 units should be used. There is
no more danger in 20,000 units than
in 500 units. There will be no mis
take in applying a larpe dose, but
there may be in a small dose. If there
is not a decided improvement in pulse
action within eight hours, the dose
should be repeated even if the ini
tial dose was 20,000 units."
The ages of the three diphtheria
victims reported during the last week
were 9, 13 and 23 years.
