In two recent Instances, one in Alton and one In Wood River township, he said, children succumbed to diphtheria, a doctor not having been called until Just a few hours before death. Then- cases had been so mild, the danger was not realized until too late for a doctor to help.

In the work of combating diphtheria here last month, cultures were made In examining pupils of three rooms at a single school in the neighborhood of which several cafes of the malady had developed This testing of pupils revealed two carriers of diphtheria who were isolated for treatment.
