TYPHOID SERUM
May Be Had Upon Application to
Health Officer.

DR.. Henry W. McComas, County
Health Officer, has authorized The Re-
publican to state that any individual
resident of the county desiring to use
typhoid serum may obtain the requisite
quantity by applying to him which may
be administered by the physician of the
applicant or any other physician he or
she may select.
The value of this serum as a preyen-
tative of typhoid fever has been recog-
nized for number of years, but with
the mobilization. of many hundreds of
thousands of troops at the various can
tonments of the nation, all of whom
have been treated with the discovery,
its value has been found to be inestim-
able, few if any cases of typhoid hay
ing been discovered in the army. 1t is
the aim and desire Of the health author
tiles not only in Garrett county but all
over the state to make this immediate
section the healthiest portion of the
country and in order to do this the CO.
operation of the people is absolutely
necessary. hence the desire of the
authorities to use preventative methods
and their offer of the serum free of
charge to all applicants.
