Toxoid sllli Rated Top Diphtheria Preventive Recent outbreaks of diphtheria in southern Alberta which neces- sitated the closing of schools and the banning of public meetings in some districts serve as a reminder that toxoid is still the perfect diphtheria preventive. it is stated by the Health League of Canada. There would have been no out- breaks had those ‘aflectied been properly immunised tluoiagh tox- oid injections. It seems a pity, the Health League says, that in this suppos- edly enlightened day and age that diphtheria should still be talking toll in death and sickness when medical science has provided immunizing agent. It is true that the Alberta outbreaks were isola- ted instances, bue it is hoped, the Health League says. that they will provide food for thought among the thousands of Canadian par- ents who have neglected to have their children immunized against preventable diseases such as Bffilll- pox. diphtheria, and whooping cough. The picture does hBNe some brighe, sldBl, however. and just recently the Toronto Medical Of- ficer of Health, Dr. Gordon Park Jackson. revealed that. Toronto was diphtheria-free in 1948 - re- peating the record-breaking year of 1940 when that city for the first time in its history reported no cases of the disease. Toronto is the only city of its size in the world ever to go through one cal- endar year without a case of diph- tlleria. “It is. to‘ be hoped that the at- tainment of such‘ a record will not induce the citizens of Toronto to become apathetic and indiffer- ent where diphtheria is concern- ed." the Health ‘League says. ‘They should. continue to remem- ber the; -toxoid_ prevents diph- therla." .

It is uniform with legislat- ion passed in other Provinces. and deals particularly with amend- ments affecting Western Provinces. Mr. William Hughes said that in- nsmuch as the bill is retroactive. the amendment should be clearly explained. Hon. Mr. Large said in that case he would leave it to the pro- maeer of the original Act (Mr. Hughes). He W115 not DNDBYH! t° go into the matter himself. Mr. Hughes said he would not press his point.
