TYPHUS FEVER.

DIARRHCEAL DISEASES.
These include Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Choleraic Diarrhoea, Zymotic Enteritis,
Epidemic Enteritis, Infective Enteritis, Enteric Catarrh, Gastro-intestinal
Catarrh, and Gastro-enteric Catarrh. Diarrhoea, and Gastritis with Enteritis
have, however, been classified separately, and during 1911 caused 324 deaths, as
contrasted with 76 in the preceding years, and with an average of 181 in the
twenty-six years 1885-1910. There was thus the large increase of 143 deaths
on the average of these years. Such a large mortality is to be deplored, especially
as there was an increase of 46 in the deaths from enteritis and gastritis.
