Family Quarantined After Diphtheria On Train Trip
The Struss family from Riverdale Arkansas faced a diphtheria scare aboard a Chicago & Eastern Illinois line train. After a prescription of antitoxin and hospital treatment at Pana, they were quarantined in Dr. Miller's barn while the Board of Health arranged proper care. The parents praise local kindness and plan to return to Riverdale when released.
