FIFTEENTH BIEJs^NIAL REPORT 79 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OP THE STATE LABORATORY OF HYGIENE. C. A. Shore, M.D., Director. The work of the State Laboratory of Hygiene divides itself into three divisions or lines of work: The examination of specimens, the distribution of diphtheria antitoxin, and the treatment of patients with prophylactic anti-rabic virus. The total number of specimens examined was 12,731, as follows: Positive, Negative. 1,091 sputum ................................ 236 855 660 diphtheria............................. 239 421 790 Widal................................. 299 491 298 rabies................................. 154 144 196 malaria ............................... 26 171 78 gonococci ............................. 36 42 83 urine ................................. 39 pathology ............................. 28 miscellaneous ......................... 7,285 feces.................................. 1,849 5,436 Hookworm ............................ 1,303 Ascaris ............................... 402 Hymenolepsis ......................... 172 Strongyloides ......................... 32 Trichocephalus ........................ 11 Oxyuris ..............................................................8 Taenia saginata ..............................................3 Balantidium......................................................2 2,183 water. The figures show a considerable decrease in number of hookworm examinar tions, a few less specimens of water, and a general increase in all other specimens. The Hookworm Commission does more and more of its work in the various counties and during the past year sent very few specimens to the Laboratory and most of the 7,285 specimens examined were sent directly by patient or physician and not by the employees of the Hookworm Commission. Until recently one or more microscopists paid by the Hookworm Commission was constantly at work in the Laboratory, but such is not now the case. If we eliminate the specimens sent by the Hookworm Commission and examined by their representatives, the apparent decrease disappears. A general increase in the number of examinations of sputum, throat swabs, Widal tests and for malarial parasites and for gonococci show that there has been a very substantial increase in the amount of work done. The analysis of water of all public supplies whether municipal or from the so-called mineral springs continues to show the wisdom of State supervision. The advertised claims of the therapeutic value of bottled waters are usually extravagant and often absurd, but we found several years ago that many waters on the market were not even clean. We are certainly unassailable in insisting that therapeutic waters should at least be clean and free from
