OFFICER,
From 16th October to 31st December, 1900.
Tenements visited for purpose of giving instruction on health... 757
Nuisances discovered and reported to the Chief Sanitary
Inspector 42
Re-visits 311
Calls made at tenements where the occupants were out 150
Houses visited to recommend disinfection and other means of
prevention after phthisis 15
At all the above tenements leaflets by the Medical Officers of Health,
relating to the care of children, and the prevention of consumption and
other diseases have been distributed, and have been found in the majority
of cases where revisits have been made, to have been read, and to have
aroused interest in health and disease.
A great deal of tuberculosis has been met with. Amongst infants,
chiefly those which have been bottle fed. Phthisis being largely found in
proportion to the absence of ventilation, even where otherwise cleanly and
sanitary conditions prevail.

List of Slaughter-houses Licensed by the London County Council
in October, 1900.

The slaughter-houses regularly inspected have been found to be
conducted in a satisfactory manner. In the interest of the public,
however, private slaughter-houses should be replaced by "abattoirs."
This change would alone enable a systematic and thorough inspection of
meat to be made as at present practised in the large towns of Germany,
France, and Belgium.
