increase LABORATORY WORK
HEALTH DEPARTMENT MAKES
GOOD SHOWING DESPITE
ScANT APPROPRIATION
Blood Specimen Examinations Must Be
Continued On Same High Plane
AS Heretofore

With the scant appropriation made
to our department of health, it is hare
! to understand how this most importan
! branch of our government has kept III
so we'll with the demands made upo1
It, The work. of course, must come
up to the standard; 1t must be goo(
work, true work. just such work az
will stand the test of comparison witt
that of all other laboratories. 1t must
be the standard. if you please, for ex
actness in detail and results.
The annual report for 1922 has this
comparative statement, which speaks
for itself:
archaeological examinations made II
1918. $3.50: specimens examined II
1922, 1885. Blood specimens exam
ined for syphilis in 1918, 789; last year
14,804. Samples of water examined in
1918, 346; the year 1922, 3,240. This
gives us a total of work done in these
three departments alone, dealing with
diagnoses for physicians and keeping
track of the public water supplies, OF
6,1S5 examinations in 1918; examnia-
tons in 1922 were 30,679.
The appropriation for 1919 was $780,
600; for 1923 it is only $4,000. Can
you imagine how Dr. Abercrombie has
been able to increase the volume and
efficiency of his work with this small
amount of increase in cost? 1t must
also be borne in mind that during this
time three new Bureaus have been add
ed, Vital Statistics, Child Hygiene and
Comfy Health Work.
There is only one way that we can
account for this wonderful showing {:
splendid administration and co-opera-
tion loyalty to the State. strict econ
omy in every department, and the good
honest work Of every individual con-
nected with the State Board of Health.
We wish to congratulate our people in
having such a splendid organization
as our State Board of Health, and sin
Cerely hope that more money will be
found for this most important OF all
our State work.
1t is a great comfort to our physi-
clans to have at their command lab
uVatory such as is found in the Capitol
in Atlanta, working to full capacity Of
its equipment for them. One much
needed thing is what is called tissue
work. The Laboratory cannot offer ex-
aminations of specimens from tumors
and the like, especially such exami-
nations as life extension work de-
mands, because of lack of funds.
You will notice from the figures CIV
en- above that the examinations of
blood specimens show the greatest per-
centage of increase. This is a most
important work, and must be continued
on the same high plane that it has
bcen on The Laboratory stands sec
ond to none in the United States. Larg.
er equipment must soon be bought if
it is to continue; where it is to come
from with the present appropriation
