Twentieth Biennial Keport 71 Apkil y, 1U28. F. L. SiLEK, Franklin, N. C. Dr. Eugene B. Glenn, Asheville, N. C. Dr. G. E. Dixon, Hendersonville, N. C. 21 embers of the Tenth District 2Iedical Society. *'Dear Sirs :—As the Secretary of the State Board of Health, I am writing.' to suggest that you three gentlemen constitute a committee to present to the State Board of Health, at its meeting in Asheville next week, a proposition for the establishment of a branch district laboratory in Asheville. I respectfully request that Dr. Slier act as chairman of the committee and that he indicate to me as soon as convenient, after arriving in Asheville at the meeting of th(» State Society, when it will be convenient for the committee to api>ear before the Board, so that I may arrange a meeting. ''The Board will be particularly interested in having the committee deline as accurately as possible the scope of activities that they would be pleased to have assumed at once, and to indicate other activities to be undertaken in the future in the order of their Importance. The committee will understand, of course, that it will be necessary for the Board to know just what should be undertaken. Of course, we can rule out, to begili with, clinical laboratory work, such as blood counting, urinary analysis, stomach analj-sis, etc., as this sort of work has never been undertaken, so far as I know, by governmental agencies, but has been left in private hands, and doubtless will remain there. It approaches too closely to being considered as diagnostic methods. Then, there is other work, such as water analysis, the production of vaccines, and examination of material where the time element is not so important as t. b.'s and Wassermanns, that can be more economically done, and in all prol>a-bility just as effectively done, in central laboratories than elsewhere. However, I can assure you that the Board of Health will be pleased to have you present the ideas in as definite form as possible. "With highest personal regards, I am Very sincerely yours, W. S. Rankin, Secretary, R:H . State Board of Healthr Dr. Rankin then stated that he had had a conference with Dr. Siler during the morning, to determine in so far as it was possible, what should be the scope of activities undertaken by a district laboratory, in the event that the Board saw fit to establish one. In the above-mentioned conference Dr. Siler and the secretary considered the scope of laboratory work under three headings—diagnostic, embracing sputa examinations, examinations <»f throat-swabs for diphtheria, rabies examinations, AVassermann tests, Widal tests, examinations for malaria, examinations for pus for gonococci; furnishing biological products, including typhoid vaccine, diphtheria antitoxin, toxin-antitoxin, Schick, Pasteur treatments, pertussis vaccine and smallpox vaccine. icatei^ analysis. Dr. Rankin then stated that it was evident that some of the above activities could best remain, for economic reasons and for greater accuracy in work, centralized, whereas it was possible for some of the work of the laboratory, especially the storage and distribution of biological products, to be handled in a district laboratory. Dr. F. L. Siler and Dr. Eugene Glenn were present to represent the Tenth District Society, and Dr. Siler present(Ml his .statement in writing, which is as follows: ''In behalf of the physicians of the Tenth District Medical Society and the people of western North Carolina, we have come to ask your honorable body to devise means by which the medical profession, and through them the public, might have a ready means of securing biological products and a ready means of getting the opinion of an expert on pathological specimens.
