capable of manufacturing more than 1,200 grains of lanoline vaccine paste each a week for
distribution to districts. That is to say, for the whole province, 2,400 grains will be avail-
able every week. If this amount was distributed weekly among the 47 districts, the supply
to each district would be very small, while the amount of clerical labour and postage involved
would be unnecessarily large. It has therefore been decided to divide the province into
groups of six districts and for each depôt to supply one of its four groups every week with
the total quantity of lymph available. Thus group A will be supplied with lymph
during the first week of every month up to a limit of 1,200 grains, which will be divided
among the six districts in proportion to their population. Group B will be similarly supplied
during the 2nd week; group C during the 3rd week, and group D during the 4th week of
every month. To make these instructions clearer, the following statement is given, which
shows (1) the quantity of lymph up to which each Civil Surgeon may indent once a month,
(2) the depôt to which the indent should be sent, and (3) the week of the month during
which the indent will be complied with. Indents should reach the depôt at least a week
before the prescribed week of supply:—
