North Cajiolina Board of Health 165 the amount of diphtheria toxoid combined with pertussis vaccine, the increase in the amount of Tetanus, and the increase in the amount of Triple Antigen; that is, diphtheria and tetanus toxoids combined with pertussis vaccine, we realize that an increased number of children are protected against diphtheria. Our increased protection of children is confirmed by the decreasing amount of diphtheria antitoxin needed to treat those children who develop diphtheria because they were not protected by immunizing. No significant changes have been made in the volume of smallpox vaccine distributed by the laboratory. In spite of the decrease in the prevalence of typhoid fever there has been only slight decreases in the volume of typhoid vaccine distributed by the laboratory. The unchanging rabies problem as evidenced by the number of animal heads examined is also confirmed by the number of antirabic treatments —1,630 being distributed in 1948-50 as compared with 1,615 during 1946-48. During 1946-48 Pertussis Vaccine as a single antigen has decreased but the number of children protected against whooping cough has actually increased due to the larger amount of diphtheria toxoid and pertussis vaccine used as a combined immunizing agent and the triple antigen to which tetanus toxoid is added. Other changes which we can note is the discontinuance of the distribution of scarlet fever toxin and bismuth tartrate. Since Penicillin has practically displaced all other methods of treating syphilis, we have only occasional requests for the arsphenamines. • * • Influenza vaccine was popular in the period—1944-46. Only a slight amount was distributed in 1946-48, and practically none during 1948-50. Immune globulin which has proved to be effective when properly administered for the control of measles from a little more than 10,000 packages for the period 1946-48 to more than 45,000 for the period ending June 30, 1950. This product is made available by the American Red Cross without cost to the Laboratory and is distributed free of charge to the physicians and health departments of the State. Blood plasma was also provided by the American Red Cross and discontinued during the current biennium. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Vaccine which was formerly furnished the Laboratory by the United States Public Health Service and distributed free of charge was also discontinued. From the financial point of view many of the difficulties which we experienced during the period 1946-48 have decreased during the period 1948-50. For the products prepared and sold by the State Laboratory of Hygiene we received more than $58,000 for the period ending June 30. 1950, as
