The baccili produce ia toxin which is absorbed into the system. They are found in the throat where this false membrane is formed in the tonsils, soft palate, nares and larynx. In 75 per cent. of the cases the bacilli are absent two weeks after the membrane disappears. ‘*Susceptibilityâ€"This is a highly contagious disease transmitted directâ€" ly by immediate contact. Frequently the disease is spread by convalescents, out too soon, by mild unrecognized ceases and also by earriers. Indirect transmission may occur but is uncomâ€" mon. ‘*Diphtheria is an acute contagious disease caused by a germ called the Bacillus Diphtheriae or Klebs‘ Loefâ€" fler Bacillus and is characterized by the formation of a pseudoâ€"membrane on the mucous surface,â€"especially of the throat. have heard some very interesting adâ€" dresses on Public Health matters in general, but toâ€"day I will confine my Â¥emarks to one particular phase or subject which is not only a Public Health matter but is also of interest to each one of us as individuals,â€" namely, ‘*Diphtheria."‘ ‘‘Etiologyâ€"It appears in all cliâ€" mates but more frequently in the colder countries and in the cooler months of the yearâ€"Fall and Spring. It attacks adults and children, but more especitally children between the ages of l and 10 years. It attacks male and females alike. A catarrhal condition of the nose and throat and also diseased tonsils predispose ‘to the infection. ‘‘Individuals vary in susceptibility. Most adults are immune. Children between the ages of one and ten are most susceptible. ‘*Symptoms The incubation period is usually two or three days. It begins with chilliness, headache, fever, sore throat. The throat is reddened and swollen and in a few hours small patches of a dirty gray eolour appear. ‘‘Prognosisâ€"The prognosis varies with the individual patient, the viruâ€" lence of the infection, complications, the site of the infection and the time at which treatment is begun. Over 50 per cent. of the deaths occeur in children under 5 years of age. Before the introduction of antitoxin treatâ€" ment the death rate in all forms was 30 to 35 per cent. It is now 10 to 15 percent and when serum treatment is commenced on the 1st day it does not exceed 3 per cent. ‘‘Treatmentâ€"(1) Isolation â€" The regulations of the Provincial Board of Health of Ont@rio require that «all cases of diphtheria be quarantined for 3 weeks or until two negative cultures are obtained 10 days after the date of onset. Contacts must also be quarantined for 7 days, or until a negative culture is oObtained. _ This is very important as most cases occur in young children, where the mortalâ€" ity rate is highest. This regulation is made for the protection of you and your little ones and your Medical Officer of Health and Local Board of Health are anxious in all cases that this be enforced. But we need your coâ€"operation and assistance. ‘And 1 want to tell you that every person who knowingly conceals a case of diphtheria is no friend of yours but is a menace to you, to the life of your children and to the community and should be dealt with accordingly. ‘*(2) Antitoxinâ€"Since the discovâ€" ery of antitoxin in 1894 and in those countries where its use has become general the mortality rate has been very considerably reduced. The morâ€" tality rate is still much too high. If antitoxin in adequate amount is given within a day of the onset of the diâ€" sease, prompt recovery is almost inâ€" variably the rule. But the parents, thinking the child has just a cold or sore throat, too often do not call in ‘‘Diphtheria has been known and recognized for centuries. In that ilâ€" lustrious period ‘before the birth of Christ, known as the Golden Age, which produced more brilliant men than any other similar period in the history of the world,â€"with such men as Socrates and Plato, there was born Hippocrates, known as the Father of Medicine. Hippocrates recognized and described diphtheria and down throuâ€"h the centuries this disease has appeared in isolated cases and in epiâ€" demics in all climes and in all counâ€" tries. a physician until the child‘s system is flooded with toxin. ‘*A settler and his family live on a farm about twelve miles from a town in Northern Ontario. Late last fall one of the children, a little girl three years old, took sick. It had a sore throat but, the parents thought it would be all right, and besides they lived 12 miles from a pkysician and couldn‘t very well afford to send for him. The little one grew worse and four days later the other two children in the family had sore throats. The doctor was summoned but too late. The little one was moribund and died the same day. The others recovered. Such is the tragedy of delay in this ‘‘Vaceination is done by the subâ€" cutaneous injection of a swbstance :alled toxid. This is diphtheria toxin rendered atoxic by the addition of formalin. Three doses are given, cach three weeks apart. In this way 95 per cent. of those vaceinated are made immune. The immunity lasts for several years, probably for life. Sometimes in older children and in adults a reaction oceurs in which there is an area of redness and swellâ€" ing at the site of injection, together with some fever and headache. But ‘‘We have now however a vaccinaâ€" tion against diphtheria at our disposal and if diphtheria is not entirely wiped out or the incidence rate very materâ€" ially reduced within the next few years, it will be a disgrace to our proâ€" vince, and the day should not be far distgnt when the incidence of diphâ€" theria will be regarded as a punishâ€" able offence. As I said before, many persons, esâ€" pecially adults, are naturally immune to diphtheria. _ By a test called the Schick test, one canâ€" determine whether a person requires vaccinaâ€" tion or not. This test consists of the injection of a small amount of toxin into the skin. If the person is imâ€" mune no reaciion occurs, if not imâ€" mune a small reddened area half am. in diameter appears in twelve to twentyâ€"four hours, reaches its height in 3 to 4 days and gradually disapâ€" pears. ‘*(3) Toxoidâ€"The most important factor in the fight against diphtheria is Prevention. While the mortality rate has been remarkably reduced in the past twentyâ€"five years, the inciâ€" dence rate remains about the same. That is, the number of cases per 10,â€" 000 population is about the same in Ontario now as it was twentyâ€"five years ago. discease. Kicking a Tire is no way to test it!

It deâ€" pends on the size of the tire and the wheel load. At that pressure your tires will give you maxiâ€" mum mileage. If your tire inflation goes three pounds below that correct pressure you cut mileâ€" age from the life of your tires. Use a gauge.
