Abstract
UNDER the above sensational title the writer discusses, or rather attacks, the anti-toxin treatment of diphtheria. It is difficult to understand what has prompted the production of so prejudiced and, we regret to say, unscientific comment upon this subject. We most emphatically take exception to such expressions as “scientific quackery,” and others of a similar character, being applied to investigations of which, although the therapeutic value may be,as yet a question of opinion, undoubtedly mark a new step forward in our endeavour to unravel the problems surrounding disease.
