English Translation

R A b s c h r i f t. The child Peter Pr eide l was transferred to the Isoöier department with the other diphtheria incubants on the evening of the 23JX and, there in a joint box with these 3 children, separated from the others. During this time, the protein milk diet was obtained, from which it is to be noted that it was not able to aim a slope of the weight curve, as long as up to 4/3 of the egg white milk were packed with gries and the child received homoseran. Exactly 3 weeks after the di-contact (run of the serum protection in bacillus carriers? ) the child himself fell ill with diptheria, which appeared in the form of a croup with toxic course and led 36 hours to the exitus despite immediate specific measures. With the child's father I had a single conversation, while I never saw the mother. The conversation with the father, which took place about 4 to 6 days before the death in the late evening, was attended by Dr.Riha, who also took part in it. The father was completely calm and friendly all the time, although he was not pleased with the news that the degradation of the protein milk diet would take some time. With this opportunity, he claimed that he had been spoken of as "an additional six weeks" while we explained to him that the whole cure would take about five to six weeks. He also asked (he did not ask, nor did he beg) whether the child could not be transferred to the private department,and I replied to him that (as I knew) there was currently no place in the class, but he would like to talk to the senior physician tomorrow about the wish to move, which would no longer be in the house this evening. Mr. P., however, complained about the accommodation of his child in the neighbourhood of "sews" and claimed that what happened at night on the abbey was better than we were, since he had gone there secretly at night and then would not follow the precaution rules of the day which we quoted. After 3/4 hours of very friendly evening entertainment between 7 and 8 o'clock, the father finally quietly left. We did not have the impression that he had reason to complain at the moment.
