The work done shows a slight increase over 1922, chiefly
due to the large number of swabs examined for Diphtheria during
the first quarter of the year.
The bacteriological work of the Staines Joint Isolation
Hospital continues to be done in the Council Laboratory following
the arrangement made last year.
We also continue to supply the Mogden Isolation Hospital
Diphtheria Culture Tubes.
The Virulency and Widal Tests were carried out for us by
Dr. Harold Spitta at St. George's Hospital.
