CHARGE TOO MUCH
FOR ANT|TOx|N
State Board of Health Shows
That Some Druggists Demand
Excessive Rate.
NOW WITHIN REACH OF ALL
Health Department Prepared to
Serve Public at Actual
Cost.

The complaint OF Il woman that she
could not pay the price her druggist
demanded for diphtheria antitoxin has
convinced the state Board of Health
that. despite the wide publicity given
tho sale of antitoxin at low rates,
many. do not understand that this great
remedy can be had by all. rich and poor
alike.
The woman in question went to the
Office of the board n few days ago and
asked for advice. She had child suf-
fer1nS from diphtheria, and she had
been ordered to purchase antitoXin by
her physician Not knowing that the
state dispensed it at minimum rates
she went to druggist and found that
the necessary antitoxin would cost
SIG. When told that this antitoxin
OF tho very first quality. could be had
FOR about 81. the woman was over
joyed
Following this Incident, the board
made a quiet investigation and found
that for 1900 units of anttoxln a
druggist was asking s205o. while the
state sold the same amount for 1886
a Charge Four Times the Rntc.
MANY OF our best druggists" says
the weekly bulletin Of the board. ARE
now selling ant!tCxin at low rates and
are cooperating with us IN placing
this great remedy IN the hands OF all
who need It The discovery. however,
that the remedy is still being offered
for sale at almost four times as much
as the board charges for 1t shows
that IT any do not know of tho existing
arrangement
I'm our effort to place antitox,n
within the range OF all. We have had
for four years an agreement with one
OF tho leading manufacturers of anti
toxin in this country. BY the terms Of
this agreement. we send antitoxin Of
the best quality to all who ask for 1t
at the minimum rate of 10 cents the
thousand units. with cents added
for the cost of the syringe. The only
Limitation on the sale is that the per-
son who ordered the antitoxin be re-
sponsible TO the manufacturer for the
purchase price.
This antitoXin is not for sale to the
poor only. Every citizen of Virginia
rich or poor, is entitled TO as much as
he needs at these low figures. Nor
is there any prohibition on the pur-
chase Of this antitoXin by druggists
We are perfectly willing TO send the
antitoxin to druggists and to allow
them 10 sell it to consumers at a rea-
sonable advance in price.
Put the board will do its utmost
TO keep the price down and TO inform
all that antitoXin can be had at low
prices whenever and wherever needed
The board trusts that the press OF the
State, which has co-operated in this
work with such splendid results. will
call to the attention OF their readers
the terms OF the present arrangement"
