Doctors Make Tests on Themselves A new method has been discovered for protecting children against diphtheria which may do away with the Pain of injections, states the "News Chronicle."
A type of antitoxin is inhaled as a fine mist and it acts by being absorbed from the large surface exposed in the lungs.
Before the new method could be used, it had to be tested, and seven volunteers offered to try the method themselves.
Two of them, doctors in charge of the diphtheria immunisation clinics in eight London boroughs, describe the results in the "Lancet."
