Government of madras
LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT (PUBLIC HEALTH ) DEPARTMENT
• G.O. No. 2127, P.H., 27th October 1927
Administration Report—King Institute, Guindy—1926–27—Reviewed.
Read the following paper :—
From the Surgeon–General, dated 6th September 1927, No. 1533–1-G.
Order—No, 2127, P.H., dated 27th October 1927.
Recorded.
2. The Director's proposal for the appointment of an Additional Assistant
Director is under consideration. He is requested to submit separately his pro–-
posals for the creation of the post of a Resident Assistant Surgeon and for the
equipment of some of the laboratories with suitable furniture and fittings.
3. As in the previous year, only glycerine lymph was issued for routine
vaccinations throughout the Presidency, and both the manufacture of vaccine
lymph and routine vaccination was suspended during the hot weather months.
During this period the passages of seed lymph were also discontinued. The
desirability of continuing the passages of seed lymph during the hot weather was
investigated and, interesting results were obtained, but further experience is
required before a definite opinion can be formed in the matter. Experiments
were also carried out to ascertain whether donkeys can be substituted as
vaccinifiers for rabbits or buffaloes with better results. The result of these experi–-
ments is awaited.
The total number of vaccine doses issued during the year was 2,323,521
compared with 2,216,028 issued during the previous year. The increase in supply
is reported to be mainly due to the supply of 135,000 doses to the Government
o f B e n g a l . T h e p e r c e n t a g e o f l y mp h u n a c c o u n t e d f o r r o s e f r o m 1 6 . 7 p e r c e n t
to 20 per cent. A shortage of over 30 per cent was observed only in one case,
viz., Vizagapatam (31.5). It is hoped that the Director of Public Health will
continue to take steps to check the waste of lymph.
The success rate of primary vaccination was the same as that of the previous
year, viz., 96.4 per cent, and the insertion success rate was 87.6 per cent compared
with 88.8 per cent during the previous year. The Government are glad to see
that the general standard of success has been maintained.
4. The total number of other bacterial vaccines issued from the Institute
rose from 85,569 during the previous year to 91,313 in the year under review.
The increase is stated to be due to a larger demand for cholera and typhoid
prophylactic vaccines, There was also an increase in the number of doses of
autogenous vaccines issued. The total number of specimens examined in the
Institute shows considerable increase, the number for the year under review
being 29,377 compared with 15,180 during the previous year. This increase was
due ( 1) t o a l ar ge . i ncr ease i n t he number of Wasser mann t est s f or syphi l i s, ( 2) .
to an increase in the examination of fæces for dysentery and typhoid, and (3) to
a larger number .of specimens being examined by investigation units. The

Kilpauk water-works. In April 1927 the Government sanctioned the proposal.
Experiments were started at Kilpauk from 1st October 1927.
13. The Government are glad to record their appreciation of the efficient
manner in which the Director and his staff have carried on the work of the
Institute during the year and of the valuable assistance which has been rendered
to other departments and the public by their investigations and researches.
