The indications are that the limit of demand has been by no means reached.
The problem of preparing the vaccine in large quantities at a minimum of cost for media and with the smallest expenditure of labour and time is engaging our attention at present and it is hoped that our present rather slow and difficult method may be replaced by a better.

Gonococcus Vaccine 3,230 c.c. Staphylococcus Vaccine 40 Plague Vaccine 120 T. A. B. Vaccine.... Cholera Vaccine 140 .... Antogenous Vaccine 2 doses. AMOUNT ISSUED, 26 vaccines.During the year 1,800 c.c. of anti-meningococcic serum was prepared, and 4,300 c.c. issued.
The amount remaining on hand is approximately 57,405 c.c. Anti-rabic vaccine was prepared throughout the year as usual, the fixed strain in use being passaged regularly every two weeks through rabbits.
One hundred and thirteen courses of treatment were instituted. A glance at the table will show that only slightly more than half the cases completed their course of treatment. This is probably at least partly due to the fact that the Colony is known to be practically free from Rabies by the public and therefore the fear of the disease is not so great, and probably partly due to the dog inflicting the bite failing to show symptoms of disease subsequently.
