Outbreaks of diphtheria in households have frequently been attributed to disease among fowls and to dirty fowl-runs, and there are cases on record where, when fowls were dying in numbers, diphtheria was very prevalent among children and others. A case has come to light in Southland where a pet parrakeet was apparently responsible for communicating the germs of diphtheria to a young woman. The parrakeet was noticed to be gasping for ' breath, and had a whitish froth about the open beak. The young woman handled the bird frequently until it died a few days later, and three days afterwards she herself experienced a sore throat, and in nine days was found to be suffering from a mild form of diphtheria. Mr Newton King advises that he wifl not hold his Stratford springing heifer sale, sot down for December 7. '"ho next "heifer sale will be on December 14. NATURE'S BEST TONIC.
