Annual Report of the Imperial
Bacteriologist
For the year 1912-13.
ADMINISTRATION.
I remained in charge of the Laboratory throughout the
year. From 1st October 1912 to 30th March 1913 my services
were placed at the disposal of the Commission sent from
England to investigate certain questions connected with
Foot and Mouth disease. Much of my time between these
dates was occupied in this work.
2. The charge of the office of the Assistant Bacteriologist
was held by Mr. Cross from 1st April to 11th of June 1912.
He was absent on six months' leave out of India and rejoined
his work on the 11th December 1912.
During the interval I carried out his duties in addition
to my own. By the middle of January Mr. Cross was
transferred to Sohawa as Camel Specialist, and Mr. Meadows
acted as Assistant Bacteriologist from 14th January 1913.
3. Dr. Hartley held the appointment of Physiological
Chemist till 18th of February 1913, when he resigned.
Since that time the post has been vacant.

REPORT OF THE IMPERIAL BACTERIOLOGIST
4. During the year under report Mr. Kriebel, the Head
Laboratory Assistant, was absent on leave, and the new
Assistant, Mr. Mobbs, worked in the Laboratory as his
substitute.
Messrs. Keiller and Goffi, the second and third Laboratory
Assistants, remained in their respective appointments.
5. Fodder Supply.—The arrangements for grain and grass
were satisfactory. A small amount of fodder was obtained
from the Laboratory area. The larger amount was collected
from the surrounding forests from distances of 4 to 10
miles.
6. Forests.—The demand for fuel was met from the
Laboratory reserved forest.
There were no illicit fellings nor forest fires within the
Reserve. Many of the blank areas are being re-forested by
natural process.
The nursery at Ritani was maintained and several
thousand young deodar trees planted out.
7. Supply of Hill Bulls.—Both from Kumaun and
Garhwal a number of hill bulls were received in small
batches sufficient for our requirements.
Buffaloes are being extensively used in place of hill
bulls. A large supply of these animals is obtainable from
the districts round Bareilly.
8. Bareilly Branch Laboratory.—This Laboratory re-
mained open during the winter months. In addition to the
routine work, experiments were carried out on Foot and
Mouth disease by the Commission deputed from England.
As for some years past it has been experienced that the
present Laboratory area is too confined for research work
and for serum preparation, the Government of India approve
FOR THE YEAR 1912-13.
3
of a proposal to remove the Laboratory to another site.
A more extensive location has been selected about 5 miles
to the north of Bareilly and a scheme for the erection of
necessary buildings submitted to the Government of India.
PREPARATION OF SERUMS AND VACCINES.
9. Rinderpest Anti-Serum.—During the year under report
8,05,500 doses of Anti-Rinderpest serum were prepared
against 10,52,500 doses in the preceding year, while the
amount issued during the year exceeded the issue of the
previous year by 4,30,400 doses, being 11,28,500 against
6,98,100 in the year 1911-12.
The Egyptian Government, after experimenting with the
serum prepared at this Laboratory on their highly susceptible
cattle, requested to be supplied with 50,000 doses at 100 c.c.
or 10 lacs doses at 5 c. c.
This demand we were unable to comply with in full, but
agreed to supply three lacs doses at 5 c. c. in instalments.
The above issue of 11,28,500 doses includes 198,730
doses at 5 c. c. to the Egyptian Government.
It is satisfactory to note that although a charge of two
annas per dose of 5 c. c. has been imposed on this serum, the
demands from the provincial Governments (with the excep-
tion of the Punjab) have been greater than in previous
years.
The sum realized from the sale of this serum amounted to
Rs. 1,09,338 as compared with Rs. 72,277 during the year
1911-12.
10. The figures in the subjoined table, as collated from the
respective returns received, will show the results of Anti-
Rinderpest serum injections carried out in the field.

13. Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia.—During the year under
report 40,901 doses Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia serum were
prepared and 43,218 doses issued as compared with 30,845
prepared and 28,970 issued during the previous year.
The excess in issue was met partly from the previous
year's surplus and partly from the quantity returned from
the field as unused.
In addition to the Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia serum
25,750 doses of Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia Vaccine were also
prepared and issued during the year under report.

REMARKS.
17. Mallein.—During the year 1912-13, 15,181 doses of
Mallein were prepared and 17,933 issued as against 20,664
prepared and 16,480 issued during the year 1911-12.
The excess issue was met from the previous year's surplus
of 4,224 doses.
18. Tuberculin.—During the year under report 530 doses
of Tuberculin were prepared and 162 issued as compared with
519 prepared and 577 issued in the preceding year.
19. Strangles.— 2,470 doses of this serum were prepared
and 2,320 issued during the year as against 1,294 prepared and
2,298 issued during the previous year.
All of this was issued to the Remount Department, and
results are reported to be very satisfactory.
During February 1913 I visited the Remount Depôts at
Sargodha and Mona and had an opportunity of seeing young
8
REPORT OF THE IMPERIAL BACTERIOLOGIST
stock suffering from strangles under treatment with serum.
The Veterinary officers in charge informed me that they
had very good results using the serum as a curative agent
in pronounced cases of strangles.
20. Specimens examined.—During the year under report
123 specimens of different diseases were received for examin-
ation and report at the Laboratory. The results were com-
municated to the persons interested.
21. Training of Veterinary Assistants.—At the Bareilly
Branch Laboratory 8 Veterinary Assistants received train-
ing in the methods ,of inoculation with serum alone, against
18 during the year 1911-12.
With a view to check the spread of Rinderpest among
the milch and draft cattle of Military Dairy Farms, a
scheme has been approved of by the Quarter-Master-General
in India to train Dairy Managers in inoculation work at
this Laboratory.
Captain J. A. B. McGowan, A.V.C., of Umballa, studied
at the Laboratory for 2½ months from 16th July to the end
of September 1912.
RESEARCH WORK.
22. Research.—The programme of the Research work for
the year under report was as follows:—
(1) Rinderpest.—Further experiments regarding the
most economical methods of preparing this serum
with special reference to Plains Cattle and
Buffaloes.
(2) Surra.—To continue experiments in methods of
treatment. Investigations regarding transmis-
sion.
(3) Anthrax.—To continue investigations of methods
of immunising against this disease.
(4) Hæmorrhagic Septiæmia.—Investigations regard-
ing the vitality of the organism outside the body
and on methods of transmission.
FOR THE YEAR 1912-13.
9
(5) Foot and Mouth Disease.— Investigation regarding
the etiology and methods of protection whenever
material is available.
23. Rinderpest.—Several series of experiments were
carried out in questions connected with Rinderpest serum
preparation. The results are being summarised for public-
ation in Memoir form.
Many other experiments were made on the value of drug
treatment in Rinderpest. This investigation is being
continued.
24. Surra.—Further experiments were conducted on the
treatment and transmission of Surra.
25. The following extracts from the Annual Report of
the Bacteriological Laboratory in the Colony of Mauritius
for the year 1911 show the results of treatment of Bovidæ
and Equidæ in that Colony :—
"Treatment of Bovidæ and Equidæ by Arsenious acid
and Soamin according to the method of Captain J. D. E.
Holmes, M.A., D.Sc., Imperial Bacteriologist to the Govern-
ment of India. The high percentage of cures (75 per cent.)
obtained in India on Surra infected horses by Captain
Holmes induced us to try his method of treatment on affected
Bovidæ and Equidæ in Mauritius.
"The results obtained on Bovidæ proved excellent. A
total of 158 cases were treated, 29 by ourselves and 129 by
Messrs. Bradshaw, Veterinary Surgeons, to whom we had
indicated the method we had employed. No death was
recorded, while before the treatment was started the
mortality on the herds dealt with had, during the three
preceding weeks, been as follows :—
Herd No. 1

10
REPORT OF THE IMPERIAL BACTERIOLOGIST
" The method of treatment adopted was the following:—
One subcutaneous injection of Soamin, following by the
administration of 10 doses of Arsenious acid in bolus on
alternate days.
"On Equidæ we did not obtain results as good as those of
Captain Holmes, but nevertheless they are certainly encourag-
ing and show that Arsenic against Surra is really a specific
on condition that subtoxic doses be given while the Arsenic
is not pushed so far as to cause colic, loss of appetite, and
other symptoms of poisoning.
"To secure this desideratum it is necessary to estimate the
dose in each case separately, owing to idiosyncrasy which
exists also among animals.
"Twenty Equidæ were admitted for treatment in 1911.
Of them, it is but fair that Nos. 6, 10 and 16 be left out as
the animals came in a dying condition, unfit to stand the
treatment.
"Out of the remaining 17 animals, 9 were cured (52.9 per
cent.), 6 of them have been working regularly and efficiently
for 10, 8 and 4 months, while the others are given slowly
progressive work.
" It is, therefore, impossible not to appreciate, or even to
question, the curative value of Captain Holmes' Arsenical
treatment of Surra, which has, in addition, the advantage of
being simple and economical.
"We are glad to be able to record here our thanks to
Captain Holmes for his advice whilst we were engaged on
this work."
During the year under report the Divisional Veterinary
Officer, Burma Division, Maymyo, obtained the results noted
below on Surra treatment in Upper Burma:—
"About 100 mules have been treated by Holmes' method;
60 of these, at time of writing, have finished the course of
treatment, and are apparently all right, as they have no fever
and no trypanosomes in their peripheral blood.
FOR THE YEAR 1912-13.
11
" The remainder are still under treatment. One mule was
treated with an intravenous injection of a double dose of
' 606' followed by the course of arsenic as laid down by
Holmes and has never had a temperature since 20th Septem-
ber 1912. No other treatment besides these was adopted."
26. Anthrax.—An investigation was made on the value
of the simultaneous inoculations of an Anthrax vaccine and
Anti-Anthrax serum, as compared with the inoculation of
an unmodified virus and anti-Anthrax serum. A paper on
this subject is being prepared for publication.
27. Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia.—The investigation re-
garding the vitality of the organism outside the body was
continued and is not yet completed. Some experiments
were made in the drug treatment of this disease.
28. Bursati.—A study of the etiology and histology of
this disease was engaged in, and a paper on the conclusions
is now ready for publication.
29. Publications.—The following Scientific articles from
the Laboratory were submitted for publication during the
year and appeared in a Veterinary series of Memoirs of the
Department of Agriculture :—
(1) Anaphylaxis in the larger animals. By J. D. E.
Holmes.
(2) Salvarsan in the treatment of Surra in horses, dogs

31. Remarks.—The Assistant Bacteriologist was on
leave for six months from the 11th June 1912. The Head
Laboratory Assistant was on leave throughout the year, the
Senior Veterinary Inspector was on leave from 17th June to
10th September 1912. From October to March the time of
the Imperial Bacteriologist was largely taken up in connec-
tion with the Foot and Mouth Commission.
The Physiological Chemist resigned on 18th February
1913. The Farm Manager resigned on the 31st July 1912,
and the post remained vacant.
The Electrician resigned on the 13th November 1912,
and the post was vacant up to the 1st December 1912.
In consequence of the above changes the difficulties of
administration were many and the work demanded of the
staff extremely heavy. The fact that the full work of the
Laboratory was maintained is a testimony to the zeal and
energy of all the staff. The amount of serums and vaccines
issued was in excess of previous year. Advance was made
in research work and interesting scientific articles published.
14
REPORT OF THE IMPERIAL BACTERIOLOGIST
The Rinderpest serum is now being prepared entirely by the
new methods and the results of the tests of each brew show
that it is of much higher potency than in previous years.
This serum was tested by the Egyptian Government on their
cattle with satisfactory results, and the Laboratory has been
requested to supply that Government with a large amount
of serum.
The demand of Rinderpest serum increases each year,
and by the erection of a Laboratory at Bareilly, to include
serum preparation, provision is being made to meet all
demands.
Dr. Hartley's resignation is to be regretted, but it is
expected that a suitable staff of well-trained officers will be
appointed during the present year. The work of the Labora-
tory has reached proportions greater than the present small
staff can continue to cope with.

* Last year this serum was issued at 10 c. c. dose, but during the year under report it was thought advisable to
issue it at 20 c. c. dose: hence in place of 1,875 doses, 938 doses have been shown in the opening balance.
