Diphtheria used to claim a high
toll of victims years ago, and a
higher percentage died.
After diphtheria immunization
became fairly common, the inci-
dence of the disease dropped off
to the low figure in 1959.

Following two decades of fairly
steady decline—except for brief pe-
riods—diphtheria has shown a
slight increase in the past two
years.
In 1961 there were 209 cases of
diphtheria in Texas compared to
239 cases in 1960, and only 163
cases in 1959. The same trend is
followed in the death column of the
disease.
Prior to 1960 there had been a
steady decline in the number of
fatalities in Texas attributable to
diphtheria—in 1959- there were only
seven.
However, the figure jumped to
20 deaths during 1960. The latest
figures available for the first nine
months of 1961 indicate that there
were 15 deaths through the end of

“You mean if I die, I will come

His wife shook her head, “Not

Physicians generaly inoculate in-
fants with a combined triple vac-
cine composed of diphtheria and
tetanus toxoids and pertussis vac-
cine insuring protection against;
all three diseases.
Transmission is made by person-
to-person contact with a patient or
carrier or with articles soiled with i
discharges of such persons. The I
diphtheria organism is contained
in discharges and secretions from
mucous surfaces of the nose,
pharynx and nasopharynx.
The disease strikes most often in
the fall and winter months and
compications involving the heart
occasionally occur.
A physician should be consulted
for further information about am-
munization.
The little boy shook his head, “No
use for me going to school, mister.
I can’t read, I can’t write, and I
