      In order that the principles of the serum-simultaneous method of active
immunisation of cattle against rinderpest should be readily available to veterinary
workers and stock-owners in India, the circular instructions upon the method in
use at that time were published in 1925 from the Imperial Institute of Veterinary
Research, Muktesar, in the Agricultural Journal of India as one of a series of
articles contributed to the journal under the title " Some Recent Advances in the
Protection of Cattle and Other Animals against Disease ". [ Edwards, 1925.]
