Chicken-pox or Sorehead. 



During the past month 2450 c.c. of chicken-pox vaccine has 

 been prepared and used among the flocks of the City and County 

 with most excellent results. 



It has been found by experiment that the least amount of car- 

 bolic acid which will preserve the vaccine is 1 per cent. This 

 percentage, apparently, will keep the vaccine indefinitely and so 

 far no detrimental effects have been observed. 



Food Poisoning on Maui. 



In response to a wireless from Dr. J. C. Fitzgerald, and at 

 the direction of the President and Executive Officer of the 

 Board, I left for Maui to investigate a peculiar condition among 

 hogs on the Haleakala Ranch. 



History: The herd consisted of about sixty-five head, large 

 and small. For the past few weeks previous to my arrival, sev- 

 eral hogs had died, symptoms before death resembling hog cho- 

 lera. Dr. Fitzgerald administered large doses of anti-hog cholera 

 serum without results, as deaths still continued to occur. 



Symptoms: The symptoms as observed were, in the first 

 stages, high fever, rapid breathing, all food refused, a disinclina- 

 tion to get up, and when aroused, a weak staggering gait; in 

 the final stages, complete paralysis of hind parts with more or 

 less complete paralysis of the larynx and pharynx, and not being 

 able to swallow the saliva drooled from the mouth, and in a short 

 time death would take place. At no time were any red spots
