Letter to the editor – February 14, 2022

Some of you remember my mother, Grace Fulks Myers. She contracted diphtheria, known as  “the Strangler,” in about 1916 or 1917  at age 5 or 6 years. 

In 1890, Koch proteges Behring and Kitasato were able to demonstrate that they could prevent tetanus. 

However, in 1890 in Germany was the first attempt to cure a disease with an antitoxin.
