Addendum.
The Report would not be complete without acknowledging
the help and assistance given to me by the
Medical Officers of Health of the neighbouring districts
affected, the County Medical Officers of Health, and
specially the Medical Officer of Health for the West
Sussex Northern Combined Sanitary District, in whose
areas the farms and creameries, etc., axe situated, and
finally the proprietors of the infected dairy X. who readily
placed all their books at my disposal, and to whom I am
indebted for details as to sources of milk supply, rounds
of distribution, amounts of milk distributed, etc. To Dr.
Macewen also, of the Local Government Board, my thanks
are due. Without the help of all concerned, the outbreak
would not have been so quickly brought to such a
satisfactory ending. The statistics dealing with the
districts outside Lambeth have been supplied by the
Medical Officers of Health concerned.

Medical Officer of Health.
