In 1920, when the Asylums Board were pressed for accommodation
during the last quarter of the year, medical practitioners
were advised to administer the maximum dose of antitoxin, but
even in that year only 82 bottles of antitoxin of 2,000 units each
were requisitioned.
The number of applications for antitoxin last year increased,
92 bottles of antitoxin of 8,000 units each being supplied to
medical practitioners, as compared with 139 the previous year.
