Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memphis Medical Monthly, 1902, Vol. 22 Intubation, though a simple procedure, has been the means of saving the lives of many precious babes dying of the asphyxia of diphtheria. Especially is it of service in tiding the case over, as it were, until the administration of antitoxin may have the desired effect. For the discovery of the cause and specific treatment of diphtheria we are obliged to again acknowledge our indebtedness to laboratory research.
