A melancholy story 13 told in a recent number of the South Australian Register : — " Diphtheria has been prevalent at Port Lincoln in a very malignant form, and making sad havoc in homes. While maDj families have lost one or two of their number, the .household of Mr and Mrs J. M'Callum hare been deprived of eight. One child died not long ago from the awful scourge diphtheria, and the list now published gives the names and ages of seven others who went off between May 21 and June 3. The prattling little girl of three years and the young woman of 18 form the limits as to age, while on each of three days in succession in May, and on the three opening days of June, there was a victim added to the death-roll. The case of this family is indeed sorely distressing. We learn that the foil disorder is still rife in the district."
