notification of Tuberculosis, particulars of which cases appear
in the Medical Officer's report. At each house visited advice
is given for the prevention of the spread of the disease, and
printed instructions are also left.
In certain cases spittoons and disinfectant fluid are given
to the patients, with a view to promoting cleanly habits.
A register is kept of all cases of Consumption, giving
necessary particulars.
The results of the investigations are made to the Medical
Officer, who also visits most of the cases during the year.
OFFENSIVE TRADES.
Bye-laws were drafted to deal with the trades which the
Local Government Board declared by Order to be offensive.
These were submitted to the Council, and afterwards to
the Board. They were not, however, approved by the Board,
who state that they are too stringent.
It is essential in a residential district to guard against
the occurrence of any possible nuisance, and this will be
borne in mind when the re-drafted bye-laws are submitted.
SALE OF FOOD AND DRUGS ACTS.
The above Acts are enforced by the County Authority in
this District.
