Diphtheria Rates Decline and Public Duty Urged
Diphtheria death rates in Pennsylvania fell from 34.1 in 1906 to 898 per 10000 in 1983 amid progress in disease prevention. Dr. Theodore B. Appel cites parental neglect as a factor, warns of the disease’s contagious nature, and notes antitoxin as the life saver. Three skin tests of newer vaccines offer immunity, but full protection requires public cooperation. The article also covers the Indiana Lodge Masons banquet with Dr. J Wilbur Gibaon presiding and J Elder Peeler delivering an address to about 200 attendees.

The opossum feigns death when threatened. It curls up and hangs head downward by the tail if captured high in branches, remaining limp to fool hunters. After being shaken or kicked, it still appears dead until laid aside, then recovers quickly and seeks safety. Unlike the raccoon, it does not den for winter.
