SILVER NITRATE SOLUTION SENT
FREE TO PHYSICIANS

Since 1916 the law of Minnesota has
required attending physicians and mid
wives to treat the eyes Of every new
born infant with one per cent solu-
tion of silver nitrate.
The legislature of 1917 provided
funds for the purchase and free distri-
button of handy outfits for such treat
ment, and at least one outfit was sent
to each physician in the state in Au-
gust, 1917, by the Minnesota State
Board of Health. Each outfit consists
of six empules of the solution with
needle for puncturing the ampule. The
ampule is made Of Raraffin wax and the
solution contained ii it will not lose its
strength for some years. Further sup
plies of these ampules will be sent free
Of charge to any physician or midwife,
on application to the State Board of
Health in the State Capitol, st. Paul.
Very few requests for these samples
are being received from physicians.
This must be either because the law is
being ignored or because it is not I'M
derstood that ample supplies Of these
|ampules are to be had for the asking.
