THE DECANTING ROOM.
The vaccine, after being sterilised by heat, and carbolised, is here decanted into sterilised bottles, by means of glass syphons; one of which may be clearly seen
in the flask in the left hand corner. The basin from which the decanter is lifting an india-rubber stopper, is filled with fornaline solution for the disinfection of the
stoppers. Behind this basin may be seen the sterilised bottles plugged with cotton. At the second table on the right, bottles are being filled from the syphons. At the
far end of the room the filled bottles are being labelled and capped. The Assistant Surgeon on the right is examining an agar tube used for testing the sterility of the
vaccine.
