Her eldest daughter Victoria came down with diphtheria, and the girl's fever was extremely high. Four days later, Alice sent her mother a telegram stating another daughter, Alix, had also contacted the disease, and it appeared the child would die. Not soon after, May also became ill. Eventually all the children with the exception of Ella were infected with diphtheria. As it turned out, all but little May pulled through. The disease had resulted in a painful choking death for the little girl. Alice kept the news of May's death a secret from the others for as long as she could. Eventually the children started to question their mother about May's absence, and she finally confessed that their sister was dead. Ernie, still recovering from the illness, was extremely grieved. In an attempt to comfort him, Alice kissed the boy, and she contacted diphtheria as a result of this action. Weak from sleepless nights of nursing her family through the ordeal, Alice had no strength left to fight her illness. On December 14th, the 17th anniversary of her father's death, she passed away. She was only 35. ( source ) ___________________________ Like Dr Crippen, you probably thought this sad story was of historical interest only. I hope that is correct. But the shortage of vaccine is worrying. I must apologise to readers for implying that there has not yet been a death from diphtheria in contemporary England. A reader points out that I was wrong: Death of a child infected with diphtheria in London 8 May 2008 The Health Protection Agency has been responding to the death of a child in London. The most likely explanation for the child’s death is an infection with diphtheria. The Agency is recommending that people ensure that they are up to date with their routine immunisations. Diphtheria is extremely rare in the UK due to the success of vaccinations children receive as part of the childhood immunisation programme. The few isolated cases that are seen are usually in unvaccinated people who have travelled to countries where the disease is still common. These cases do not usually spread the infection to others in the UK because the population is well protected through immunisation. Professor Peter Borriello, from the Health Protection Agency said, “It is rare for people to die from diphtheria as severe infection is prevented by immunisation and the majority of children are routinely immunised against diphtheria in the UK. This child had not been immunised. ( Health Protection Agency ) Meanwhile the government dishonesty and doublespeak about the shortage of vaccine continues. My practice is currently cancelling baby immunisation clinics because we cannot get enough of the appropriate vaccines.

Executives from Verizon Wireless and AT&T are saying they see fewer Sprint subscribers are moving to their own networks. As unsupported as this rumor stands, the speculation boosted Sprint’s stock price to a 13% growth last week and another 5.84% jump last Monday. Several things, at least, is happening with Sprint. An aggressive marketing campaign starring its CEO Dan Hesse is on the way. New products, such as Samsung’s Instinct smartphone , have been released. The company also announced it will begin to rollout its WiMax assets. And there have been rumors that Hesse wants to let go of the Nextel business, which has been its weaker leg. The Wall Street Journal, however, warns investors not to expect a quick turnaround for the company. The coming of the iphone 3G and Verizon’s blackberry Thunder could only mean more problems for the struggling Sprint.
