What Diphtheria Is.
Dr, James M. Kerr, of Pittsburg, has
published an article on the cause and
cure of diphtheria which is attracting
wide attention. He declares that the
disease is pot a result of sewer-gas. He
stitutional in the next, as a resuit of
biood poisoning, and recommends treat
ment of a simple and effective kind. So
effective is this treatment that out of
forty cases he has lost but one, and
that ore through the negligence of
the patient's attendants in regard
to diet. The false membrane to the
throat attendant upon the disease
can ba removed by local appli-
cations. For this a rather powerful
lotion of hiydrochlorie acid and glycerine
is recommended. But the moment the

gerous malady. While t*is process is
going on in the tonsi
1s distilled in the peighborhood, a very
small portion of whieh, if it passes into
the stommeh, produces acuie gastritis
and thus poisons the blood. The system
becomes much depressed, the action of
the heart and brain is lowered, ordina-
ily to the verge and sometimes to the
condition of paralysis, and
the patient dies, not, as is sup-
pcsed, from asphyxia, but trom the
presence of wirnient poison in the
blood. Afer removing the false mem-
brare Dr. Kerr puts into the stomach a
simpie chemical preparation, containing
magnesia, to combine and neutralize the
dipththeretic poisons and gently remove
them through the proper

A- reporter of the Eagle has inter-
viewed a number of eminent Brooklyn
physicians, and is glad to learn that
something liké¢ unanimity has at
length begun to prevail as to the main
characteristics of the disorder. He finls
that the sewer-ges theory has been
abandoned. The dangerous pneumonia
attending the disease is attributed to
blood poisoning. The system is inocu-
lated by some specific virus, whether
bacteria or something else, whose ten-
dency is to promote putrefaction of the
The mode of {reatment, therefore, has
become more pearly uniform. The
parts first and most tangibly affected,
pamely, the throat, fauces and nares,
are locally treated, either hy external
application or by washes laid on with a
brush, to destrov the false membrane,
How the poison is introduced from the
throat into the system, if, indeed, it is,
there is a difference of opinion; but one
of the best guthorities interviewed, Dr.
Childs, who had great experience in the
matter, gives it as his opinion that Dr.
Kerr has hit upon an accurate solution
of the process, and that the course of
treatment recommended by him seems
very plausible. It differs in essentials in
n: way from that suggested by the
Brookiyn doctors, namely, to check tte
membraneous growth with
antiseptics, to administer antidotes to
the poison in the stomach and ;emove it
to fortiiy the system and assist it to
throw off the poison tha® has already

Mad Dogs
A writer on ** Modern Cynolatry » in
the Journal of Ssirnce vives the follow.
ing startling figures of mad dogs:
Taking the official statistics of hydro-
phobia in England and Wales Le finds
the number of cases, or, inother words,
of deaths, for the eleven years—1868 to
1876 inclusive is given at 387, or on an
average thirty-five yearly. Now, asthe
population of South Britain does not
greatly exceed 25,000,000, we have here
one person done to death out of every
700,000. During the past year no fewer
than 103 persons were bitten by mad
dogs in Paris and its suburbs. Of these
thirty are known te have died of hydro-
phobia. If the population of the French
capital is estimated at 2,000,000 this
gives a death-rate of four in 66,000
Five hundred dogs and a score of mad
cats were destroyed in the course of the
year by the police in the “‘fourriere,” and
the result has been a reduction in tune
number of persons bitten and of the
hydrophobin death-rate.
