fifteenth bieJs^nial report 105 (a) A continuous growth during the last five years in sputa, Widal, rabies and malarial examinations. (&) A marked growth during the last five years, with slight annual fluctuations, in water, diphtheria, urine, gonococci, miscellaneous and pathological examinations. (c) That the last year's work was the largest year's work in the history of the Laboratory. (fZ) That there has been an average annual gain or growth in the Laboratory work for the last five years of 26.6 per cent. (e) That during the last five years the Laboratory work has more than doubled. IRREGULAR AND NEW WORK OF THE STATE LABORATORY OF HYGIENE FOR LAST FIVE YEARS. Years Stool Examinations Distribution of Antitoxin Distribution of Typhoid Vaccine 1909-*10 678 __________units Immunizations 1910-'U 22,865 __________units ________estimated 1911-12 9.581 10,267,000 units _______ estimated 1912-^13 7,285 12,995,000 units ........ estimated 1913-'U 1,821 9,254,000 units 10,000 estimated The second chart shows the irregular and new work of the Laboratory during the last five years. The falling off in stool examinations in 1910 and 1911 was due to the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission having the stool examinations made in the field by the field directors instead of in the Laboratory. This chart also shows the amount of antitoxin distributed by the Laboratory during the last three years. The amount of antitoxin distributed by the Laboratory does not by any means represent the value of this feature of its work. As soon as the State began to supply an antitoxin guaranteed by the United States Government as reliable at practically one-fourth the original retail price, the various manufacturers of antitoxin immediately cut the retail price of their antitoxin to meet the State's competition, and it is, therefore, no longer necessary for a citizen to buy State antitoxin to get a reliable and reasonably cheap antitoxin. Within the last year the Laboratory has begun a new work—the preparation and distribution of free typhoid vaccine. This new work is capable of having a greater influence on the State's death rates than any other phase of the Laboratory w^ork, with the possible exception of water analysis. The amount of vaccine distributed the last seven months was sufficient to immunize about ten thousand persons against typhoid fever. The Laboratory, as you all know, is under the direction of Dr. C. A. Shore. THE BUREAU OF HOOKWORM ERADICATIOX. Nearly a year ago. Dr. John A. Ferrell, one of the ablest health officers in this country, was called from the Bureau of Hookworm Disease, which he had founded, to very responsible duties in the central offices of the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission at Washington. Dr. C. L Pridgen succeeded Dr. Ferrell as State Director of the work for the eradication of hookworm dis-
