Child
Near Stanford Dies of Diphtheria Because of Eight-Hour Delay
Securing Antitoxin
Diphtheria
claimed as a victim last night a little child belonging to Mr. and
Mrs. Will Patton
of Route 1 ,
who were visiting friends near Stanford on the west side of
Crowley's Ridge.
According to
Dr. G. S. Self , the attending physician , the child's life might
have
been saved but
for the horrible condition of the roads in Greene County and the
consequent delay
of eight hours
in securing antitoxin. A messenger was dispatched from
Stanford
at eleven
o'clock last night with instructions to come to the Lamb-Garner
drug store in
Paragould and secure antitoxins .An automobile could not be used and
the trip was
made on horseback. The messenger arrived at Paragould at four
o'clock
this morning ,
secured the medicine and returned to Stanford , but in the meantime
the
child had died
. Physicians are sure that had the roads been in condition to permit
the use of an
automobile the child's life might have been saved.
