supplant, anyhow for some considerable time in this country, the use of adult serum. The sentimental
objection will, in my opinion, militate against its use, however efficient, for some time to
come, and so long as volunteers to supply adult serum can be obtained from outside sources or
from young parents, it will be long before the use of placental globulins becomes a day-to-day
occurrence in this country.
One cannot be too grateful to the Rover Scouts for their public spirited sacrifice. It is
time that something more general was done in the country and if volunteers can be obtained
from this great organisation, I do commend it to other authorities, particularly those where
poverty is greater than it is in our own area, as a contribution towards diminution, if noi
obliteration, of deaths from Measles.
