Particularly Interesting were the cases of three brothers, from nine to fourteen years old. Another brother had died at home after an illness of two days. Eight thousand units of antitoxin anti-toxin were given to each boy every fourth hour. Two of them are now entirely en-tirely well, and the third Is rapidly improving. |
