WOKK OF THE STATE LABORATORY OF HYGIENE Character of Work The work of a public health laboratory is properly limited to those fields of usefulness which are strictly practical. Where other agencies exist the necessary w^ork of health education and propaganda should be left to them. With these ideals in view, the State Laboratory of Hygiene has always addressed its efforts to some definite practical piece of work. "When it has been necessary, on account of limited funds, to choose between different lines of w^ork, the choice has been for that work which promised the widest help to the greatest number of the State's inhabitants. Specifically this w^ork has been done under the following heads: 1. Analyses of water from public supplies and from commercial springs. 2. Examination of specimens for the purpose of diagnosis. 3. Pasteur treatment of persons infected with rabies. 4. Manufacture and distribution of vaccines and antitoxins. The average monthly work for the years 1917 and 1918 is as follows: Water ........................................................... 175 Sputum ......................................................... 132 Blood for typhoid................................................................................................91 Blood for malaria................................................................................................17 Throat swabs for diphtheria......................'................................59 Pus for gonorrhea .....................................................................6 Brains for rabies..................................................................................................42 Intestinal parasites .............................................. 119 Tissue for cancer................................................................................................7 Urine ......................................................................................................................25 Blood for syphilis................................................ 245 (After February, 1918.)
