The medical world this year commemorates the centenary of Bretonneau’s discovery of diphtheria. The dread malady, which at various times has broken out in deadly epidemics, costing thousands of young lives, is not really so modern, of course, as the anniversary suggests. It was known to the ancients 'as thor “ Egyptain Evil,” and appeared In frequent epidemics, both in the British Isles and on the Continent during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. But it was Pierre Bretonneau, of Tours, who first identified the symptoms in a collective diagnosis and defined the disease in the celebrated treatise laid in 1321-22 before the French Academy of Medicine. The famous Tours doctor gave the disease the name of Greek derivation by which it is now known in medical text books throughout the world. “ We never sell a wide wedding ring except to country cousins,” a Mayfair (London) jeweller declares.
