acteristics of q common source
epidemic. The cases Of polio
myelitis following use Of vaccines
made by the other manufac-
turers have not been more
numerous than would be ex-
pected at this season except for
a few cases which suggested
(but were too few to be con-
clusive) an association with one
lot of vaccine produced by
Wyeth. That firm has with
drawn the unused portion OF
this lot.
The Salk vaccine is a suspen-
sion of poliomyelitis virus in
activated by formaldehyde to
render the virus harmless but
still capable of inducing the
production of antibodies. The
vaccine contains inactivated
virus Of each Of the three types,
The original concept Of vaccine
preparation was that the process
itself assured a wide margin OF
safety. Safety tests for the
vaccine were conceived to detect
both mass contamination re-
sulting from accidents in manu-
facture, and residual live virus
which the process was intended
to eliminate.
The intensive investigations OF
the past five weeks indicate that
the records which manufacturers
were required to submit did not
include certain data which are
essential for an adequate assess
ment of consistency in perform
ance. The protocols submitted
related only to lots of vaccine
proposed for clearance, and gave
no information concerning lots
discarded in the course of manu-
facture. Further, the informa-
ton requested did not bring out
certain data on processing and
testing now known to be i'm
portant.
Not Always Practicable
The total experience of the
manufacturers now reveals that
the process of inactivation did
not always follow the predicted
course, since positive tissue cul-
ture tests not infrequently oc-

pletion of the inactivation proc

fore, must be placed on sensi-
tive tests for very small guam
titles of residual live virus as
part of process control than
would otherwise be the case.

The tolloUing Is a summary
OF the Welfare Departments
report on the status OF SGlk
polio udccine:
SUMMARY
This report presents the tech
nical problems involved in the
production, testing, and safety
Of Salk poliomyelitis vaccine.
It also describes the responsible
tiles Of the Public Health Serv-
ice in control Of the manufac-
ture Of the vaccine as a biologic
product.
The vaccine as prepared for
the 1854 field was an expert
mental product made by COM
mereial producers for the Ma
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis. After some initial
difhculty. the industrial firms
were able to turn out a good
product. and the field trial was
carried out successfully. Vac
cine production for the field
trial permitted the laboratories
Of industry and the Public
Health Service to acquire exper-
fence In testing.
As q result of its studies over
q period Of two years, which in
cluded participation with indus
try and with DR.. Salk In testing
of vaccine for the field trial, the
Public Health Service planned to
act quickly on licensing if the
analysis Of the field trial data
showed that the vaccine was safe
and effective. It had issued
prospective minimum require
lnents in May, 1854, as advisory
for pharmaceutical laboratories
which might wish to manufac-
ture and store vaccine intended
for commercial use pending de-
cision to license the product
When the success Of the field
trial was reported on April IL
1885, oficial minimum require
ments were issued, and six
manufacturers, each Of which
had produced vaccine under the
provisional requirements, were
granted licenses.
Records and samples of lots OF

isence Of live virus In the vac
cine: The monkey test and the
tissue culture test. The tissue
culture test has been found to
be more sensitive than the mon
key test. It must be performed
with q large enough sample Of
vaccine and under closely con-
trolled conditions if it is to have
maximum value. The theoretical
considerations which govern in
activation and testing have been
analyzed in the light Of infor-
nation developed during this
inquiry.
AS a result of the inquiry and
Of analysis Of the manufacturers
experience and records. changes
were made in processing control
and safety testing. Revised re-
|quirements in the testing rro-
|cedures were established, and
the release Of vaccine was re-
sumed. The notifications pro-
vide greather assurance Of safety
AS a result of the review and
the institution Of revised re-
|quirements, the production and
availability of vaccine has been
delayed.
Speed Creates Problems
The Salk vaccine applies new
practices in the production OF
viral vaccines. The vaccine has
progressed from the expert
mental level to large-scale pro-
duction with unprecedented ra-
pidity. This speed. rejecting the
increased tempo of all medical
research, created problems in
biologics control amenable to
solution only with the accumula-
ton of knowledge and expert
ence. 1t is likely that other prob
lens of equal complexity will be
raised by the development of
other new viral vaccines. Action

Cigaret Tax For
Month Is S1,959

The second month of voluntary
reporting on the penny-a-pack tax
on the sale of cigarcts showed a
total of $l.95976 received by the
county treasurer Joseph II. WEIGH.
This was almost exactly the
amount of the total for the first
month for the same period of the
month, although additional returns
brought the first months total to
S2,2O767. Mr. WEIGH said he felt
sure that the final returns this
month would show even more than
last months figure, since seven
teen dealers had not yet reported
as of yesterday.
The tax was designated to be
used for the boost in teachers
salaries and at present rate this
would amount to some SIPS per
year.
1t was indicated that reports of
several of the dealers would be
higher this month, since Sheriff
Paul Fisher had been making some
during the past
thirty days Persons not reporting
are subject to a fine of $1,000 in
addition to a penalty for delayed
payment. Payments arc due by the
tenth of each month.
No attempt has been made to
make . penalty charge, since the
law is comparatively new and mis-
understandings are possible, it was
stated.
