Notice There has been much uneasiness of mind nmong our peoplo for fear of a general epidemic of dlphtherlil and while there have been two or three cases of this dread dlscaso I can as sure the publio that with care thcro Is no danger of an epMemlc. There have been, In my opinion, a number of cases denominated diphtheria that are only aggravated cases of throat trouble such as tonsllltls and quinsy, and the public should be cautioned against the use of anti-toxin whero such Is tho case, becauso It creates additional ag gravation of tho existing troubles nnd then you have to cure tho dlscaso nB well as tho aggravation which you cause, and so it is an expense to tho human economy as well as to tho pocketbook (Increasing calls) as well as sometimes resulting In death. There was a so-called case of diph theria In the country of wide Interest and discussioif: On examination I could find no evidence of diphtheria, so I sent an Inoculated tubo to tho labor atory of tho State Board of Health and had them telegraph their findings. Their i telegram reads: "Diphtheria Negative." I also sent swahblngB from throat and an Inoculated tubo of serum to the Abbott laboratories of Chicago, 111., and their telegram reads: "No Klcbbs Loeffler bacilli found diphtheria negative," showing conclusively tlmt this was not a case of diphtheria and should not have been treated as siuch.
