Virginia Department of Health
to Furnish Antitoxin

The following circular Is sent out by
the Virginia Department OF Health:
The comparative rarity Of diphtheria
In this community during the present
winter. and the generally mild cbarac-
ter OF the disease 10 due, In the estlma-
tion Of the doctors, to the general use
Of dipAthsrla antitoxIn by people. TAs
people are beginning to realizs, they
say. that In this antitoxln they have
remedy which will insure recovery In
practically all cases Of diphthsrla
where 1t Is promptly used. Moreover.
the use of antitcnn will prevent the
appearance Of diphtherls in children
who have been exposed to the disease.
The chief difficulty In the way Of the
general use OF antitoxin has been the
high price charged for 1t by druggists
generally. ThiS price placed the REM
sdy beyond the reach Of the poor OF the
community. To prevent this, the State
Board OF Health. last summer, made
arrangements with two OF the leading
manufacturers OF antitoxin, whereby
1t was sold at very low ngure to the
medical members OF the local Boards
Of Health for sale to those who could
not affsrd to buy 1t at the regular rate.
Up to the first OF January. nearly two
million units Of antitoXin were sent out
By the State Department Of Health.
At the recent meeting OF the State
Board in Richmond 1t was decided to
furnish this antltoxin to all physicians
OF good standing In the State whether
Of the local Boards OF Health
or not. These physicians can furnish
It at cost to patients too poor to buy
Il at the standard rate, but are not to
sell 1t to other persons. The members
Of the county boards can, as hereto. 4
lore. secure the antitoxin for free dis
.ributlon or FOR sale to in1igent pa
;ients.
In this manner 1t Is hoIed that the
ase Of antitoxin will be encouraged
throughout the State. A physician
IAN now telegraph his order to the
State Department at Richmond and
'an receive the antitoxin By mail or
'xpress within a few hours.
