ANTI-MENINGOCOCCUS SERUM.
During the year 4,980 cc. were issued of which 900 cc. was a free issue. The value of the free issue was $135.00.
The balance remaining in stock was 68,705 cc.
The agglutination reaction of the serum was tested as each batch was removed from cold storage and found to be satisfactory before issue.
Sterility tests before issue were carried out as required by the Therapeutic Substances Regulations 1927.
CONTAGIOUS ABORTION VACCINE.
No cases occurred during the year and no vaccine was issued; the stock cultures were kept under cultivation ready for immediate use.
MILK ANALYSIS.
The number of samples examined was 190, an increase of 82 over those of last year.
Samples of both fresh and Pasteurised milk were examined weekly during the year.
ANTI-RABIES TREATMENT.
It is regretted that it was not possible to isolate and fix a local strain of Rabies Virus during the year. The only dog's brain, of those examined, which showed the presence of Negri bodies was too decomposed for use.
Seventy-seven persons received Pasteur treatment during the year, the number of individual doses issued being 1,308.
The value of the free issue was $1,140.00.
Fourteen dogs' brains were examined during the year, the result being:
Negri bodies present 1 Negri bodies absent 13 Total 14M 75
