Zymotic Enteritis.—The visiting of these cases is most unsatisfactory
owing to the uncertainty of the Notifications. 15 died before Notifications
were received. There were 31 deaths prior and subsequent to the
notification period.
I wish to thank the Voluntary Workers who have attended so regularly.
They have been of great assistance at the Clinics.
The Christmas Parties were larger this year. 1,300 guests were
entertained. Our thanks are again due to the Clinic Staff and many
friends for their support.
