AFTER ANTl-ToxIN TRUST.

Proceedings.


Chicago.-The Chicago Medical so
ciety and the Illinois State Medical
association will, it is expected, begin
legal proceedings against the anti
toxin trust under the antitrust law
Secretary Pritchard, of the health de.
partment said that he had informa.
ton to that effect. An official state.
ment regarding the death trust" in
antitoXin, was issued by Secretary
Pritchard. The statement says in
part:
"The antitoxin trust is nothing more
or less than a traffic in human life
Three concerns which manufacture
and practically control the antitoxin
supply Of almost the entire country
have seen fit to arbitrarily advance the
price Of their product 100 per cent.
"The department felt compelled to
call public attention to the evidence
that combine had been formed which
effectually controlled the price of the
only known remedy for the most dread
scourge to the child life of the coun.
try. Primarily our object is to call
attention to the immediate effect this
would have on the death rate of chill
dren in the city of Chicago. The bur
den Of increased cost will fall heaviest
On the self respecting, self supporting
heads Of families Of modest incomes.
"The publicity already given has
aroused the melIcal profession to the
highest indignation and no doubt will
result in some action speedily being
taken to have supply of antitoxir
from sources otner than that of the
combine"
