Bite Notice. 



TTNDER Government Notice No. 50G, of 

 U 1901, I hereby grant permission to 

 all owners having stock in the Magisterial 

 Division of Dundee, and in that portion 

 of the Newcastle Division east of the 

 Railway Line, to inoculate their cattle 

 with bile. Owners should send to the 

 Bile Station at Bester's Station or at New- 

 castle, where it is proposed to form a Bile 

 Station at an early date, 5 per cent, of 

 their cattle, such cattle to be between 

 three and four yeais old, and in low con- 

 dition if possible. Bile will then be 

 issued to them free of charge for a double 

 inoculation of their cattle. Owners wish- 

 lug for a single inoculation only should 

 send m 3 per cent, of their cattle. Owners 



not_ sending in 3 or 5 per cent, of 

 their cattle will be charged 5s. per dose 

 for such bile as the department can 

 supply. There is only a limited supply 

 of bile and serum at present. A charge 

 of 2s. 6d. per dose is made for serum. 



It is desirable that glycerinated bile be 

 used— in any case for the first inocula- 

 tion— as there will then bs less danger of 

 starting fresh centres of disease. Glycer- 

 ine will be added to bile free of charge.
