EXPLANATORY NOTE.

In compliance with an Act of the 58th General Assembly, we have caused to be erected
and equipped an Anti-Hog Cholera Serum Plant. This plant is located at 1502 Clinton street,
Nashville, Tennessee, and has been constructed according to modern sanitary and hygienic re-
quirements. Experts who have visited and inspected this plant pronounce it complete and per-
fect in all of its appointments. Has a capacity of 250 hyperimmunes which are capable of
yielding no less than 1,000,000 average doses of serum annually. ‘The Dorsett-Niles method
will be employed in producing the serum.

Our object in publishing and distributing this illustrated booklet is to acquaint all
Tennesseans with the facilities which have been placed at our disposal by the General Assem-
bly for the purpose of combatting the ravages of that great scourge to the swine industry—
Hog Cholera—in the Volunteer State.

Every swine owner and all other persons who are interested in the protection and develop-
ment of the swine-raising industry, are cordially invited to visit this plant and become famil-
iar with the methods here employed in the manufacture and use of Anti-Hog Cholera Serum.
