Beware of theseand remember that all medicines advertised as hog cholera cures areworthless and that 50 per cent of the serums and vaccines arefrauds and are sold and distributed in this State in open violationof law. We are arranging for submitting all the commercial serums nowoffered for sale in Tennessee to rigid tests to determine their soon as these tests are completed the department will expose allfakers by publishing their names in Tennessee agricultural and otherpapers of the State. -35-. ?36- Instruments and Utensils Necessary eor Vaccinating Hogs.

Methods of Vaccinating. Two methods of vaccinating are in vogue, viz.: serum alone, andsimultaneous method. The serum alone method means injection ofserum without virus. This method only affords temporary immunity—three to six weeks. We do not advocate or even indorse this methodas the immunity is too transient in comparison to the expense incurred. The simultaneous method consists in the injection of a small amountof virus at same time serum is injected. This method affords lifeimmunity and does not cost one cent more and does not require oneminute additional time than the serum alone method. This simul-taneous method has our unqualified indorsement and is the only onewe advocate. State Law. In or
