Death from Diphtheria
Keen sympathy is felt for Mr and Mrs James G. Forgie, of Petrolea, in the loss of their little boy under rather distressing circumstances, Early last week they left Petrolea for a visit to Mr Forgie's parents, Mr and Mrs Gilbert Forgie, of this town. When they left home both their children were apparently quite well. They remained one night in Toronto, and then came on to Smith's Falls, where they remained one night. While there their eldest child, a little boy two years old, was taken ill. A Smith's Falls doctor, who was consulted would not, at that stage of the trouble, pronounce it diphtheria, and Mr Forgie come on to Almonte. An Almonte physician was promptly summoned, and he pronounced it a case of diphtheria, and despite everything that good nursing and constant medical attendance could do, the little one passed away on Wednesday night. Owing to the nature of the trouble, the body was quietly buried on Thursday morning. We regret to learn that Mr Forgie's younger child also has the disease, but we understand it is not a severe attack, and hope it will be entirely recovered in a few days. There is no the slightest danger of the trouble spreading. as will as all the boarders left Mr Forgie's at once and every precaution has been taken to prevent its spreading.
