WHOOPING COUGH.
It was expected that comparatively few cases of this disease would be reported during
the year 1910, the general run of the figures up to end of 1909 (given below) leading to a
conclusion that 1910 would be a non-epidemic year. The uncorrected total of cases reported
last year was, however, only 36 less than in 1909, and, as the quarterly totals show, the
disease was considerably above the anticipated level of prevalence throughout the past year.
Moreover, it must be remembered that a strong suspicion exists that this disease is not
reported so fully as is measles.

The 518 (corrected total) cases were reported from 300 houses, giving an average of 1.7
cases per house, the same as in 1909, and slightly above the average (1.6) for 1908. The
frequency of multiple cases during the past seven years is shown below.
There were 218 secondary cases, equal to 42.0 per cent. of the total cases, the same proportion as in the
previous year, and P5 per cent. more than in 1908.
