R. DIXO.V, Co. Supt Diphtheria, About a year ago, Dr. Stephen Smith, ol the New York Health Dnpartraent, published sollio uselul suggestions rela tive to diphtheria which are Well worth remembering. Undef the heading of precautions, in addition to the removing of sources of sewer gas escape as men tioned above, he advises the removal of every kind of filth from around the house, the cleaning and white washing of ditiy wall, and the disinfection ol cellars and veutilation of all apartments, specially thoso which have boan oc cupied by people suffisrinir with the disease. It is Well, in such rooms, not only to limewash the ceilings .but to paidt the woodwork, boil ot subject to a high degree of heat every article that can be so treated, at.d expose tho room aod its contents to currents of fresh air for at least a week before reoccupatlon. Children that are well should not be allowed to kiss others a(Tectedwith sore throat, or sleep in the same room, or uso toys or other articles previously handltld by the sick. It is safer to isolate ill ones from all the family, ex cept of course the necessary attendants The air iu the sick room should be changed at least hourly, and all dis charges front the muth and hose should be received into Vessels containing dis mfectants, such bs solutions of carbolic acid or sulphate of zinc, oi upon cloths whioti are to be immediately burnt or else boiled or soaked in disiufecting fluid Diptheria, like many other serious maladies, is not diffiult to check it at tended to in time; but it frequently Lii.fTles the highest skill it allowed to run (ts distinctive feature is the formation ot a iaUe membrane in the throat, which shows itself in grayish bruwn patches. Sometimes the whole mem brane forms suddenly; but us a rule, tho patches first accompanied by fever and prostratiou. The first symptoms ot the disease, sore throat aud abnormal heat, are too often considered as premonitory ol a simple col J; but there is do neccs ity of suoh error if parents will care fully examine the throats of their chil dren as soon as soreness is complained of. The patches can almost always be well recogn'zed, nod a competent phystiiian should be instantly sum moned. Home-made remedies and gargles should not be depended upon; and the only treatment worth practising liefure the doctor arrives is to adminis ter pounded ice, .the use of which was found very effectual during the ravages of the disease in the Oneida Cotiltiiuiit'y io this State. The prevailing damp ness peculiar to the winter months may lead to increase numbers of cases of the malady. It if well therefore to keep in mind that there nre but three Safe guards; first, cut t'lt the foul air; second, watch all Sore throats in the lauiily; aod thirdly summon the doctor immediately.
