the remaining forces being scattered
among the previous places of refuge

even Winhoek itself. The Govern

ANTI TOXIN LABORATORY.
CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-A municipal lab
oratory for the manufacture of anti
toxin under the supervision of public
chemists may be the outcome of the
campaign instituted by the Chicago
Medical Society against the high prices
exacted by the manufacturers COM
bine, .orSsa-called Sdeath trust"
At a conference of the officers of the
organization the feasibility of the
scheme was discussed in detail. The
result is decision to refer the matter
for final action to q meeting on
Wednesday with the recommendation
that the plan be adopted as the per-
manent solution of the problem. If

The arbitrary one hundred per cent
advance IN price Of one of the essen
tials of the modern treatment of diph-
iberia is held by the physicians to
show that provision for the constant
supply of the article devolved upon the
municipality as a measure for the
preservation of the public health. The
high price now placed on the serum by
the death trust" it is declared, means
that thousands of children may perish
in the first diphtheria epidemic which
appears in the city.
Secretary Walls of the Chicago Med
ical Society, said today:
The sentiment of physicians
throughout the country is now ar
rayed against the men who have ad-
vanced the price Of anti-toxin. The
effect will be a natural discrimination
against those firms in other articles
which they sell to the profession"
