Enough for Three Million Inoculation Washington, July 13.
One thousand litres (about 220 gallons) of cholera vaccine will be sent to the United States Consulate in Hongkong for the use of the Chinese Government in their fight against the dread disease among the masses, the Government announced here today.
This valuable despatch will be made with the aid of the American Red Cross in answer to an appeal by the Hygiene Section of the League of Nations. This 1000 litres of serum will permit 3,000,000 inoculations to be carried out.
The State Department received the Geneva appeal yesterday and two hours later, the American Red Cross had passed an order for thirty per cent. of the quantity of serum asked by the League body in its cable of appeal.—Havas.
