SERUM FOR CHINA
AUSTRALIA’S CONTRIBUTION.
At the request of the health department of the League of Nations, Australia has contributed 500,000 doses of anti-cholera serum to assist in the fight against the epidemic now raging in China. This contribution is part of a world move, in which the total gifts of serum amounted to 6.000,000 doses. The Commonwealth, in common with the other contributing countries, made the serum (worth about £4,000) available without cost to the Chinese authorities. Australia’s half-million doses were prepared in unusually quick time as a result of work on Saturdays and Sundays by the laboratory staff.
