In conclusion, the prevention of an epidemic does not rest on the swabbing of the entire populati on, nor the univez- sal "atomising" of all the inhabitants - both measures of great impracticability in the Colony and of questionable value, as demonstrated above. On the other hand, these means which sin at the removal of the causes of the great spread of the disease as, for example, evercrowding or those means which are directed against the decrease of susceptibility or the increase of the individual's resistance to infection, are to be recommended. SUMMARY

A survey showed that the supply of antibeningococcus serum on band consisted mainly of serum of questionable thera- peutic effionay: that the Colony is too far removed from a

source of supply of reliable serua; that the necessity of serum is great, for, not only is the mortality very high out there are possibilities of recurring outbreaks; that one type of meningococcus (para type) appears to prevail. On these

grounds, it was advised that the Government, under its own supervision, undertake the preparation of antimeningococcio serum, especially active against the prevailing type.

To this end the laboratory has been re-fitted; norses

are being immunized and it is hoped that in the future a

deastmt supply of potent serws will be always available.

While the preparation is proceeding, an adequate amount of serwa (1125 dosen) was supplied by the Rockefeller

Institute. This serums shows a high antibody content against the prevailing type and may be regarded na murapeutically potent."

3ince the arrival of the flexner serms, it was possible to

treat with it only two cases; ons injected with another serum

for a long time but showing no laprovement; theother, a on se

with a hopeless prognosis before treatment. Both recovered.
