REPORT OF THE KING INSTITUTE, GUINDY,
FOR 1926-27.
PART I.—ADMINISTRATION.
(A) STAFF.
Major H. H. King, M.B., B.S., I.M.S., has officiated as Director throughout the
year.
Dr. C. G. Pandit, Ph.D. (Lon.), M.B., B.S. (Bom.), D.P.H.,D.T.M. ( Eng.), has
officiated as Assistant Director throughout the year and has been in charge of
the Vaccine Lymph Section. From June 1926, he has acted as Professor of
Bacteriology, Medical College, Madras, in addition to his other duties.
Mr. Herbert Hawley, M.SC., F.I.C., Public Analyst to the Government of
Madras, has continued to be in charge of the Public Health Section.
There have been many changes during the year in the cadre of .Assistant
Surgeons. Civil Assistant Surgeon S. Ramakrishnan was transferred in June to
the Medical College, Madras, as Assistant to the Professor of Bacteriology.
Civil Assistant Surgeon K. V. Krishnan proceeded to America in July on
combined leave for one year and four months having been granted a Rockefeller
Scholarship, and Civil Assistant Surgeon J. C. David continued on deputation to
the School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, Calcutta. Civil Assistant Surgeon
K. Padmanabha Menon remained on combined leave in England for a course in
Tropical Medicine and Advanced Bacteriology.
The following were posted to the Institute during the year :—Civil Assistant
Surgeon M. K. Ramaswami Ayyar and Military Assistant Surgeon F. G.
Martin, I.M.D., in April 1926, and Temporary Assistant Surgeons Y. S. Narayana
Rao and K. V. Venkataraman in August 1926. Assistant Surgeon K. V.
Venkataraman took a malaria course at Kasauli in October.
(B) BUILDINGS.
The building programme was revised by a Committee appointed in G.O.
No. 754, P.H., dated 30th April 1926, consisting of ,the Surgeon-General, the
Director of Public Health, the Director, King Institute, and the Consulting
Architect to the Government of Madras. The programme received the sanction
of Government in G.O. No. 1988, P.H., dated 6th November 1926, but no money
has been provided for major works in 1927-28. It is to be hoped that money
will be provided as soon as possible.
New vaccine lymph buildings are being built and the construction was well
advanced at the end of the year. The most urgent requirements at present in
about the order mentioned are
(1) Alterations to the main buildings and the provision of better laboratory
furniture.
(2) Improvements to the caged animal house.
(3) The provision of residences for an Assistant Surgeon, a clerk, the car
driver, an animal attendant, the fitter and the wireman.
(4) A new stock animal house.
(5) A new store room.
(6) A third cold. storage room if handling veterinary sera is to continue.
(C) EDUCATIONAL.
The usual first-class vaccinators’ class was held for a fortnight in February
and was attended by 64 students. Owing to an enlargement of the syllabus of
the Medical College, Madras, the classes in malaria and vaccine lymph manufacture
for the B.S.Sc. and the second-class health officer students that have hitherto
•
2
REPORT OF THE KING INSTITUTE, GUINDY
been held here were rendered unnecessary and have now been discontinued except
for a few practical demonstrations.
Nine visits were made by batches of students from Colleges, schools, etc.,
during the year.
The following medical men have attended the Institute for a month or more
to acquire a practical training in bacteriological work
:—
(1) Mr. Venkataraman, Veterinary Assistant Surgeon, Veterinary College,
Madras.
(2) Rao Sahib V. Govindaraju, Bacteriologist, Government of Bengal,
Calcutta.
(3) Mr. K. S. Venkataram, L. M. P., Triplicane.
(4) T. K. Jayaram, Director, Ankylostomiasis Campaign, Ceylon.
(5) Mr. Bhumanna, Assistantw Pathologist, Oosmaniah General Hospital,
Hyderabad (Deccan).
(6) Sub-Assistant Surgeon N. Sekharam Rao, who received special training
in plague work for a few days.
(D) ASSISTANCE TO OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
Veterinary sera.-—The Institute continued to cold store and distribute sera
for the Veterinary Department. The amount of labour involved in receiving,
checking, storing and forwarding consignments of this sera has increased so
enormously that the time has come to ask for the work to be removed from this
institute. Thus the number of bottles of rinderpest serum handled each year
from 1923 to 1926 were 77, 332, 7,793 and 12,881. The present extent of the
work can be seen from the details given in Table XIII.
Vaccine lymph.—Regular supplies were made to the Station Municipality,
Bangalore, to Secunderabad Cantonment, and to French Southern India. A
special supply was made to the Government of Bengal and seed lymph was
supplied to Ceylon.
Special examination of water supplies .— Mr. T. N. S. Raghavachari, Senior
Bacteriological Assistant, Public Health Section, visited several supplies that
needed bacteriological investigations on the spot. Details are given later under
the heading "water supplies." Samples of water from Cochin, Pudukkottai and
French India have been examined.
The Director served on the Madras City High Mortality Committee appointed
in. G.O. No. 1219, P.H., dated 20th July 1926.
(E) FINANCIAL.
As per G.O. No. 1144, P.H., dated 13th August 1924, the financial evaluation
statement—Table No. I includes both direct and indirect charges.
The total income is estimated at Rs. 8,05,509 and the total expenditure
including indirect charges amounts to Rs. 3,41,989, thus leaving an estimated net
profit of Rs. 4,63,520, on the year's working. This figure is more than 50 per
cent greater than that of the previous year, and is due firstly and mainly to a
large increase in the number of Wassermann tests carried out, and secondarily to
an increase in the bacteriological examinations made and to vaccine lymph manu
- factured. The estimated profit, as usual, does not take account of the value of
the work of the investigation units and of the experimental and research work
carried out during the year.

(10) and (l1). Similar reports were made by the Assistant Surgeons concerned
with comments added by the Director for researches Nos. (4) and (6).
A report on Streptococci isolated from cases of Puerperal Fever by the
Director and Dr. Theodore was sent to Lt.-Col. C. A. F. Hingston,
for publication as a second part of a paper by him and his staff. This has not
yet been published. A paper by Lt.-Col. C. A. F . Hingston, I.M.S., and by
A. Lakshmanaswami Mudaliyar based on the bacteriological work done here entitled
"The Treatment of Puerperal Sepsis with some notes on the Bacteriology of
puerperal Fever" was read by Dr. Lakshmanaswami Mudaliyar at the Indian
Science Congress in January 1927 and has since been published in the Indian
Medical Gazette for April 1927.
The work on the bacteriology of endocular inflammations was reported by
Lt.-Col. R. E. Wright, I.M.S., in the Annual Report for the Government
Ophthalmic Hospital for 1926.
The following papers were read at the Indian Science Congress in January
1927 :—
By Dr. C. G. Pandit :—The Relation of the Virus of Contagious
Epithelioma of Fowls to the Virus of Variola and that of Vaccinia. This paper
was published in the Indian Journal of Medical Research, Volume XIV for April
1927.
By Civil Surgeon T. Sitapati Ayyar :—(1) The Classification of Lactose
Fermenters by Serological Methods. (2) Note on three varieties of the Fungus

(G) DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.
1. Lt.-Col. J. G. Graham, C.I.E., I.M.S., Public Health Commissioner with the
Government of India.
2. Major J. A. Sinton, v.c., I.M.S., in charge of Central Malaria Bureau.
3. Major G. G. Jolly, C.I.E„ I.M.S., Director of Public Health, Burma.
4. Dr. M. B. Soparkar, Medical Research Department.
5. Dr. David Lees, Delegate of the British Social Hygiene League.
(H) CONCLUDING REMARKS.
The work done has continued to increase and the staff have my thanks for
their hard work and loyal co-operation. Another Assistant Director is very
17
REPORT OF THE KING INSTITUTE, GUINDY
badly needed to help control the many researches of diverse natures now
going on. These make heavy demands on the time of the Director, for not only
is he consulted in and advise on every research, but many researches, particularly
those in the field, entail much correspondence and many others have finally to be
written up by him, further the researches suffer for lack of more personal atten--
tion and visits in the field as could be given by, or with the help of, another
Assistant Director.
The next urgent need is for an Assistant Surgeon to be resident at the
Institute and help the Director in supervising the general non-sectional work of
the Institute, e.g., bacteriological stores, care of animals, control of the kitchen,
cleaning of apparatus, etc., which demand bacteriological knowledge on the part
of the assistant.
A third very urgent need is the equipment of some of the present laboratories
with suitable furniture and fittings. At present two of the main laboratories are
without bacteriological benches and work has to be done on tables without gas or
water laid on except at other chemical tables behind.
