Excerpt from Diphtheria and Its Associates The subject of Diphtheria has been one of deep interest to me since the days of my pupilage, and has occupied active attention in each of the four editions of my systematic work on Diseases of the Throat as they have appeared at intervals since 1878. The present essay is based mainly on a course of lectures recently delivered, for the purpose of establishing a landmark at an important era in the history of diphtheria, and of emphasising the desirability of assimilating the teachings of bacteriology to the purposes of practical medicine. In other words, to indicate the necessity for the scientific expert and the clinician to work together as colleagues, and not as rivals.
