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

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.
