ANTITOxIN VS.. DISEASE

Nichols Journal:-
Many people are against antitoxin !;
many newspapers run antitoxin col
umns, but they have no grounds or
proofs for their theories. Smallpox
was once the dreaded disease of the
country, but there are very few fatal
cases now. This is because Of vacci-
nation. Diphtheria is losing it's ia
tality because of antitoxin. These
diseases which once meant death
nov mean Only little sickness and
a short confinement in the home.
Omit kicking about antitoxin without
any grounds.
