Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Description of New Buildings, And, a Catalogue of the Library
Modern methods for the treatment of disease have become more and more dependent upon serum therapy.' The results obtained with rinderpest in South Africa and in India, with plague prophy lactic in J apan, with cholera prophylactic in India and J apan, and the necessity for vaccination against smallpox, at once suggest the establishment of serum laboratories in tropical countries. Because serums are perishable they can not very successfully be shipped through long distances, and many of the tropical diseases which yield either to serum prophylaxis or therapy are of such a nature that the serums themselves can not be prepared except on the spot.
