3/10/50 Agency Gives Serum for Measles Care The Red Cross is supplying measles serum to physicians in Weber county. The serum is free, the only charge being the one made by the physician for administering it. Mrs. Lincoln Ellison, chairman of the Red Cross campaign resi¬dential division and president of the Parent-Teacher association, sug¬gested that the public should be made acquainted with this Red Cross program. The Red Cross de¬scribed it as follows: "One of the outstanding health programs of the century, the Red Cross national blood program in its first two years of operation is al--ready supplying blood and bloods derivatives to hospitals and clinics in approximately half the states of the nation. Through distribution of blood de¬rivatives, thousands of children have benefited from injections of immune serum globulin during measles epidemics1 other patients suffering from shock, certain chron-ic circulatory ailments, and kidney diseases have been helped by se¬rum albumin; still others have been aided by fibrinogen, thrombin, an¬tihemophilic gdobulin as well as red cells and plasma. "One of the most important Red Cross contributions is a continuing supply of blood for research, which, through each succeeding year, has revealed more and more uses for blood and its products. "The Red Cross has supplied the measles serum to doctors of Weber county through the district public health office. Doctors must supply to the health department names of persons receiving this serum and the health office then gets replace¬ments from the Red Cross. All this serum is furnished free to the pub¬lic, the only charge being the fee doctors charge for administering. Parents are grateful for this as it is the means of preventing serious results often caused from measles."
