FIFTEENTH BIEJs^NIAL REPORT 81 The third line of work shows that we have distributed 1514 1,000-units 1,107 3,000-units 1,632 5,000-units 4,253 diphtheria antitoxin at the reduced contract price, saving to the State the sum of $21,579.55. We hope to take up at once the manufacture of typhoid vaccine. We intend to distribute this at cost which we believe will be very small. It is not a wild dream to hope that our State will soon be as immune to typhoid fever as it now is to smallpox. ANNUAL REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY TO BOARD FOR HOOKWORM DISEASE. Jxo. A. Ferrell, M.D., Assistant Seceetaby. Mr. President and Gentlemen: It gives me pleasure and honor to act as spokesman for the six doctors, eight microscopists and a clerk who have been making history for North Carolina in health work. A more zealous, effective and loyal team has nowhere waged warfare on disease. I wish every member of the force could be here and relate first hand some of their rich experiences in the heart of the eighty counties in which their activities have reached. When a county campaign closes, every man, woman and child, even in the remotest districts, knows the fundamental facts concerning hookworm disease, its cause, treatment and prevention. The dispensary educates the masses and the classes by the demonstrative method of teaching. Living examples of the striking results effected by treatment are left in every community as constant reminders that curing the disease drives away sickness and poverty and brings in its stead health, energy, happiness and prosperity. Of the one hundred counties in the State eighty have made appropriations for the first round of dispensary compaigns and eight have provided for a second campaign. However, for the figures to be given in this report only the results obtained up to April 1st when the last regular quarterly report was compiled will be considered. At that time seventy-four counties had made the first appropriation, and five the second appropriation. A total of $19,900.59 had been rendered available, an average of $252 for each county. The work had been finished in sixty-five counties at an average cost of $211.55 or 84 per cent of the available funds. The average length of the campaigns has been 5.8 weeks. The dispensary treated, cases have cost the counties on the average 17.5 cents. By including those treated by general practitioners without cost to the counties, the amount is reduced to 14 cents. During 1912 we spent for all agencies a total of $32,636.92 and recorded 57,991 persons treated at an average cost of 56 cents each. The Commission paid 59 per cent of the expenditures and 41 per cent was paid by the State and counties. The amounts were distributed as follows: 6
