118 XOkTir CAROLIIsrA BOARD OF HEALTH better than tAvo separate bureaus, one on rural and one on municipal sanitation. Dr. Eankin then discussed the request for an antitoxin farm and an appropriation for that purpose and opposed the proposition. In opposing this proj^osition he called attention, (1) to the fact that only three States were doing such work and that the leading public health States in the Union were not engaged in it; (2) to the fact that North Carolina by buying antitoxin at wholesale prices secured antitoxin at a lower rate than Georgia could manufacture her own antitoxin; (3) that to give aAvay antitoxin leads to extravagance on the part of profession and people. He stated in this connection that South Carolina on an annual appropriation of $18,000 spent $10,000 a year to purchase and give away antitoxin. Dr. Rankin called attention to the fact that if the State begins the practice of giving away antitoxin and later finds that it is a mistake it will be a mistake that is hard to correct in that its correction will call for, (1) an admission of error on the part of the Board, and (2) after the people have been given something they will object to having it taken aw^ay from them. There was a general discussion participated in by Dr. Thompson, Dr. Shore, Dr. Wood, Dr. Laughinghouse, Dr. Kent and Colonel Ludlow, all of whom spoke favorably of the antitoxin proposal. Dr. Kankin discussed the advisability of some kind of convict camp sanitary regulations on the part of the Board. Dr. Kent spoke in favor of such a regulation and it seemed to be the sense of the Board that efficient convict camp sanitation supervised by the Board would be advisable. Dr. Laughinghouse spoke appreciatively of the anti-pellagra w^ork under the Pellagra Commission of the Board, whose chairman is Dr. Wood. He suggested that the Board provide Dr. Wood with the necessary clerical service, the assistance of a stenographer and postage for the prosecution of his Avork, if Dr. Wood desired assistance. Dr. Wood thanked Dr. Laughinghouse for his remarks and discussed the problem of pellagra in a brief yet comprehensive way. He stated that the best Ave could do from the standpoint of prevention at present was to advise general cleanliness, especially in regard to the disposal of sewage and the destruction of vermin. The Board then passed the folloAving resolutions: (1) A resolution approving an appropriation for all purposes of $50,000; (2) A resolution that the antitoxin proposal should go before the Legislature in the form of a separate bill; and (3) That Dr. McBrayer's proposed request of the Legislature be approved. Dr. Way suggested that the dentists be informed of the interest of the Board in the question of oral hygiene and that the attention of their committee be called to various articles published in the Bulletin dealing Avith this important matter, A motion to adjourn was then made and carried. W. S. Bankin, Secretary.
