Diphtheria antitoxin is supplied free of charge
to medical practitioners requiring it for cases within
the district.
It is kept in stock at the Council Offices, and is
available at any time.
Every package of antitoxin bears the date of
preparation and a date (2½ years later) until which
time the contents will be of full unit value.
Stocks are arranged to ensure that the antitoxin
is distributed well within the time limit specified.
Out of 186 diphtheria swabs sent by the general
medical practitioners for examination, only 9
proved to be positive.
