GOOD NEWS
Recently Mr.Pauls of the'Territor
ial Deportment of Health, visited,
in Palm or and set up in our local
hospital laboratory, a pneumonia
typing unit. This is to be used
by the hospital staff to determine
the type of gem that causes
pneumonia.
After the type has been discovered
serum can bo given to the patient.
Altho our hospital has been doing
these typing tests this new equip
ment will be of considerable help.
It is believed that the death
rate caused by pneumonia can be
greatly reduced by the use of
serum.
Unfortunately all types of ocrum
have not yet been discovered.
We must be thankful that we have
made many discoveries already.
DuriiggMr.Paul's visit he arranged
for the hospital staff to so-e
several reels of educational
pictures on the cure and treat
ment of pnuumonia.
