wide use, in spite of their demon

To the INDECENT it furnishes

able to pay, the board has arrang-

Idiphtheria antitoxin and antity-
Iphoid vaccine placed on consign-
ment with large number OF re-

the State. In this way it has
brought these preventives within
the financial : and physical
reach of all residents of the State.
These antitoxins are furnished
to these distributing pharmacists

not have to invest a cent in the
stock, and their return comes

The price which they are author

sharpened the wits of the guests
who had brought their fancy

prize winner. Refreshments of
chocolate and dainty cakes were
served.
A very jolly lunch was served

young folks and children on the

prices has been effected. Prev
Iiously the ultimate consumer paid
for the antitoxin of diphtheria
$500 per one thousand units !;
$3.50 for five thousand units. I'm
der the present arrangement
these prices are sixty cents, $3.50
and $40, respectively. These
prices are based in the thousand
effective units, but the necessary
dose varies to meet the exigencies

the attending physician.
A similar reduction of the cost

made, from $500 to $105 for one

Vaccine points, the guard a.

formerly, by the State Board of

On account of the small de-

What's your choice--to pay a
dollar for certain immunity from
typhoid fever, or to have the dis
ease and pay the penalty of a
hundred, or several times one
hundred dollars and weeks Of
perfectly good, productive time
to be freed from it?
Which do you prefer-immuni-
ty from all the diseases on the
preventable list-for there are
others besides typhoid the
risk of suffering and becoming a
burden to the family, menace to
the neighbors and of bringing
your earthly career to a prema
ture end, because of your own
neglect? For the choice is yours
and your neglect becomes sin,
even a crime with a substantial
penalty.
Medical science has discovered
antitoxins and vaccines which
are disease preventors. The men
ace of typhoid to the army and
navy of the United States has
been practically removed because
military law can enforce the use
of the typhoid bacterin which
civil law cannot.
Diphtheria has been robbed Of
Its terrors by administering its
antitoxin Immediately when the
disease is diagnosed.
Smallpox vaccine has almost a
hundred years of efficiency to
prove its worth. Rabies and te-
tanus are robbed of serious con-
sequences by proper incubation.
1t is unnecessary to have even a
cold, and the medical fraternity
today is investigating preventives
of other human ills with strong
