Diphtheria in on the wane
rather than on the increase. This
is the judgment of several physicians
to whore the reporter has
talked. Dr. Walker is of that
opinion and so is Dr. McDowell.
Both are hopeful that the worst is
now over; hut neither will'say
that this is certain. There is still
danger that the disease may break
out anew in Home thickly populated
locality and gi\e lots of
t rouble.
A definite statement of the
number of eases that have occurred
id iiiis section within the past
few weeks is impracticable. 1 lie
estimate of last Saturday wa- not
exuberated. However, Doctors
W alker and McDowell alone. hare
.seen more than cases, and it is
very likely that Doctors lirutton,
Williams, White and D* Loach
have each handled their foil share.
Doctors Hood, Hope and Sayo,
eaitie in contact \v:lh the disease
first, and have probably handled
mora cases than the local plivsiciuiis;
I?i11 it is their judgment
also that the threatened epidemic
\m on I he wanu.
From the concensus of opinion
as gatherod by the p porter, the
disease generally has not been of
the inoAt virulent type. There
have been several deaths and a
mi nher of cu40? that undoubtedly
would have resulted in death had
it not heen for the anti toxin
treatment; Imt a majority of the
eft sos have heen rather mild,
yieldingly to the ordinary old
time remedies. ? Yorkville Knquirer.
