It Is being combatted effectively among children by a progressive campaign of inoculations but, among young adults, a highly susceptible period ,of life, consciousness of the danger of the disease seems to stir action more slowly, However. It was said at the Health Unit the success among children has given the older people a more confident view of the value of the protection of fered. Susceptibility tests are the In ltlal feature of immunization. For dlpthcrla, the Schick test, a simple function, determines the reaction the person will have toward the Inoculation.
