WITHIN REACH OF ALL.
State Authorities See No Reason why
Preparation is Sold at High Price
in Virginia.

Richmond, Sept. 1S.-The complaint
of Il woman that she could not pay
the price her druggist demanded fol
diptheria antitoxin has convinced
the State Board Of Health that, de-
spite the wide publicity given the
sale of antitoxin at low rates, many
do not understand that this great
remedy can be had by all, rich anc
Ipoor alike.
; The woman in question went to the
office of the board few days age
and asked for advice. She had a child
suffering from diptheria, and she had
been ordered to purchase antitoxin
! by her physician. Not knowing that
the State dispensed it at minimum
rates, she went to Il druggist and
found that the necessary antitoxir
would cost SIG. When told that this
antitoxin, of the very first quality
could be haG for about 81, the wo-
imam was overjoyed.
Following this incident, the board
made quiet investigation and found
that for 1900 units of antitoXin a
druggist was asking $20.50, while the
State sold the same amount for $5.36.
"Many of our best druggists" says
the weekly bulletin of the board" are
now selling antitoXin at low rates,
and are cooperating with us In plac-
ing this great remedy in thehands of
all who need it. The discovery, how
ever, that the remedy is still being
offered for sale at almost four times
as much as the board charges for it
shows that many do not know Of the
existing arrangement.
'In our effort to place antitoXin
within the range Of all, we have had
for four years an agreement with one
of the 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
it at the minimum rate of 40 cents
the thousand units, with cents adj
ded for the cost of the syringe. The
only limitation on the sale is that the
person who ordered the antitoxn be
Irresponsible to the manufacturer for
the purchase price
"This antitoXin is not for sale to
the poor only. Every citizen of Vir-
ginia, rich or poor, is entitled to as
much as he needs at these low figures.
Nor is there any prohibition on the
purchase of this antitoXin by drug
gists. We are perfectg willing to
send the antitoxin to druggists and
to allow them to sell it to consumers
at a reasonable advance in price.
"But 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 need
cd. The board trusts that the press
.of the State, which has co-operated
in this work with such splendid re-
suits, will call to the attention of
their readers the terms of the present
arrangement

chemistry, antitoXins, proprietary spe-

operated to reduce drug profits to the
