Few doctors think that it lasts more than two years ; perhaps not so long. Diphtheria is a disease of childhood, and mostly of the children before school age. School nurses do a great deal to prevent diphtheria, but not in the schools. It is the school nurse's work in the home that checks diphtheria; she gets hold of it early and gets it treated. It is one of the most contagious of diseases, and with present treatment it carries a mortality of somewhere between two and six per cent, according t...o how early 349 A LAYMAN'S HANDBOOK OF MEDICINE *the disease is treated. If diagnosis is made the first day, there is almost no mortality; but it is not often made before the third or fourth. Our most successful serum treatment is the serum treatment of diphtheria, and it is one of the eight or nine diseases which we can say we really cure. One of the most wonderful things that one can ever see in medicine is the clearing-up of a diphtheritic child's throat without a touch of local treatment, simply from the injection of diphtheritic^ serum.
