A remarkable graphic summary of the number of deaths occurring per 100 cases, according to each succes- sivp day’s delay in giving antitoxin. has been prepared in Philadelphia, and practically the same ratio prevails in Ontario. The number of deaths per 109 when the antitoxin was given the first day of the disease is 1.1; given the second day 5.6; third day 6.8; fourth day 7.7; fifth day 9.2; sixth day 9.3; seventh and later days 11.4. Professor Fitzgerald of ‘Toronto University has just published a very interesting and instructive pamphlet showing an analysis of diphthenia deaths in Ontario; and how greatly the mortality is reduced by the early administration of antitoxin. Delay in this is one of the most important rea- sons why we continue to have deaths due to diphthenia, deaths which are really preventable. ‘ Much of this regrettable mortality tion is could be prevented if treatment were antitoxi: only started in time. Failure in this without respect is usually due to delay in call; laborato ing a physician in cases of sore must e1: throat in little children.
