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.
