The death rate for diphtheria is diminishing every year, falling from a rate, ef. 50 per one hundred thousand people in 1890 to rates of 0 to 20 in 1926.

Occasional Increases, Occasionally there are sudden sharp increases in the number of cases of diphtheria and in the num- ber of deaths even in communities that have been thoroughly protected against the disense.

There are several factors involv ed which explain these sharp rises. Most significant is the fact that the bacterium is a living organism the same as the human being and that it sometimes becomes more viru- lent than it is at other periods.

A special investigation made in New York city of 150 cases of diphtheria revealed the fact that only two or three per cent, had re ceived preventive injections and' that even in those that had received the preventive injections suflicient time had not elapsed to permit im- munity to develop,
