Use Precautions in
Case of Diptheria
Of all diseases affecting children
of tender age we know of none more
to be drefcded than this terrible
scourge, says Dr. A. W. Humphries,
of the Kershaw County health department.
' / '
Notwithstanding the fact that wc
now have mean* of prevention, during
the past three months there ware
twenty cases reported for the county.
Now the condition appears more serious
since it has been shown that the
greatest number of case* occur during
the winter months from November
to February. Therefore,, let us
urge upon parents and others responsible
for the welfare of children,
especially those under six years of
?ge, that they use every precaution
against exposure to this infectious
disease. Unfortunately, there ts no
wuy to always know whop we are in
contact with one who is a carrier of
the deadly germs. Consequently the
only safe means of protection is to
have the child inoculated against
diphtheria by the use of toxin-antitoxin.
1 his treatment generally is
painless and does not give a local or
general reaction,and assures immunity
after four to six months interval
which lasts, practically speaking,
foiv the remainder of life, Of course
>it is essential that all children without
the above treatment be given
prophylactic doses of anti-toxin when
exposed to a known case, und it is
also advisable not to wait too long
when a child presents 'symptoms of
croup or sore t hroat, 'before summon
ing yout physician. This is one case
in which it is better to be loo *o,,n
rather than too late.
