make mistakes. The state de-|
partiuent of public health may
erring in its drive to stop typhoid
fever in this state by innoeulat-
ing our citizens free of charge,—
but I don't thin ft' so.
The reason for this bulletin is
that 1 have received a few com-
plaints, mostly from doctors, a-
gainst spending the states money
to innoculate the people of the
state against one of the most
ravaging diseases known to man.
Our offer in this drive is that to
those who are unable to pay their
physicians to have the vaccine
administered, the state will pro-
tect them from sickness and death
for two or three years free of
charge.
Now I want to ask, in all kind-
ness and fairness, what these
friendly critics can offer as a bet
ter substitute way of spending
the few cents that each treatment
costs? Can they not realize that
for every case of typhoid fever
we prevent during and after this
drive that the state is saving
hundreds of dollars in loss ot la-
bor, co-t of treatment, etc.
And do they not believe that
theie is no better way that 1 can
spend a very small portion of the
money alloted to my department
than in helping the man of mea-
gre means to save himself and
his wife and babies from disease
and death? That is my belief,
at least, and 1 am going to hew
to that mark as long as I am
commissioner.
The typhoid innoculation cacd-
paign will continue thru August.
You owe it to your self, your fam-
ily, your town your state to avail
yourself of the state's offer. I
am pleased and honored to be at
your service in this matter and I
am sure that a \ast majority of
our citizenry is with me.
