In view of the fatal prevalence of diphtheria, there- fore, the kissing of a child upon the mouth by a person with asore throat is hazard ous, if not criminal, and searcely less so is the practice of allowing children to kiss their ailing playmates. It would be wise to exercise great caution in this matter, if not to disconntenance the practice of kissing upon the mouth altogether.” The best preventions are to be found in the hints given, and in most thorough cleanliness about the house, the air, and the drains, water supply, and cellars.—Dr. Holbrook in Herald of Ite alth.
