DlPHTHERIA SWAPS
MUST BE MARKED

With SIS specimens for diphtheria
received at the laboratory of the State
Board OF Health during the two
weeks from October ~ to November
s. the board yesterday sent out a spe-
cial warning to physicians, In which
1t is stated that many specimens were
being received without any fdentin-
cation marks. and could not. Of
course, be reported on.
In one instance, to the amazement
OF the examining bacteriologist, two
specimens were found In one tube.
Examination of the container showed
that although the two specimens were
so placed that they rubbed against
each other. they were from different
cases, and separate reports were ak
pected.
1t Is pointed out that where the
prompt administration Of antitoxin Is
necessary to insure recovery in cases
OF diphtherta, and where specimens
are taken to esta blish the diagnosis
before antitoxin Is given. failure to
take the specimen correct and to
mark It legibly with the name OF the
SeHuer may mean tnAt tho IKE OF the
patient u endangered by delay or
mistaken diagnosis.
A message received yesterday at tn.
offices OF the State Board OF Health
announced the completion OF the road
from the sanatorium station on the
Catawba division OF the Norfolk and
Western to the grounds OF the Ca
tawba Sanatorium. The new road,
which has been buff by a convict
road force with State aid. crosses the
Catawba mountain at much better
grade than the road II replaced and
reduces The haul from the railroad
TO the sanatorium. The construction
Is of macadam, and the road Is said
to be one of the finest in that section
of Virginia. 1t Is now open to traffic.
