(9) Miscellaneous materials. Two hundred and ninety-seven miscellaneous examinations were carried out; they call for no comment.
D. PREPARATION OF VACCINE LYMPH.
Our preparation of lymph was again on a rather modest scale this year as our stocks were still a little higher than seemed advisable. The issue was slightly lower than usual. We expect to resume preparation on a larger scale again next year.
Amount of lymph prepared 6,537 c.c. issued 11,113 in stock at end of year 13,063E. PREPARATION OF VACCINES AND SERA.
(1) Antimeningococcus serum.-The amount of serum issued this year was 10,820 c.c., a fairly large amount considering that no epidemic existed in the Colony. Preparation proceeded as usual, 22,850 c.c. being added to stock. Amount in stock at the end of the year totalled 41,450 c.c.
(2) Gonococcus vaccine.-The amount prepared and issued was 9,190 c.c. This is almost as much again as we issued last year. The Venereal Clinic appears to use it in increasing quantity year by year.
Total amount issued 1000 million per c.c. 9,190 c.c. 100 5,550 c.c. 3,640(3) Anti-rabic vaccine.-Activity in this department was no more than may be considered normal. Only nineteen animal brains were examined and of these only three proved to be positive. All of the positive cases were from points outside the Colony. As foreshadowed in our last Report the scheme of treatment now in use calls for the administration of 2% brain substance to Class I and Class II cases and of 4% to Class III and IV. No instances of untoward reactions have come to our notice.
