resolution was to show to council, tho
Medical College and the people or
Richmond It's disappointment at the
existing conditions of affairs, due 10
the contract which he'd been entered
into between the city and the college.
This action was provoked to some
extent by n letter Gent the board by
Chairman l.. z. Morris. OF the cxecu-
tive committee of the college. in which
the city Ia asked to pay one-half of the
Ave per cent interest on SIS. 900 mort

During the discussion of the resolu-
ton asking the council to appropriate
the money for a new hospital, vari-
Gus expressions. all along the line

COMPLAINTS MADE TO STATE
BOARD OF HEALTH THAT
PRICES ARE EXCESSIVE.

Needy parents whose children
are suffering from diphtlferia are
being forced 10 pay eSorbitsfn

Gently filcd with the State Board
Of Health. which today issued
special warning on the subject.
In one case brought to the attention
of The board, 1t Is alleged that anti
toxin, similar in every way to that
dispensed through the board of health.
Is being retaiIed at a much higher
price to people OF small means who
must either buy 1t or endanger the
lives of their children by awaiting the
arrival Of antitoxin shipped from
Richmond. Roanoke or one Of the
other antitoxin depots.
The people OF the State must be on
their guard against such hold-ups."
said an officer of the board In dis
cussing the matter today. AT most
drug stores antitoxin is sold at fair
increase over the price at which 1t is
dispensed through the State Board of
Health, and the druggists generally
are cooperating to place this remedy
in the hands OF all who need It at rea-
sonable figures. But every year
brings some reports OF druggists who
are making money from the neces-
stiles OF the poor and selling anti
toxin at unreasonable and exorbitant
rptes.
The anfitoxin SOLD through the
State board can he .aad by anyone who
needs it--druggist. physician or pri-
vate citizen--at cost of ~ cents for
each ! 600 units A syringe of o.o00

'Diphtheria antstoxin should not be
