DIPHTHERIA.
The type of Diphtheria occurring this year in Ilford was on
the whole of a virulent nature. This applied especially to the
local outbreaks occurring around Seven Kings and South Hainault
in October and at Loxford in December. Ten deaths occurred;
many of these were of cases affected by "hæmorrhagic diphtheria,"
which is unfortunately a hopeless form of the disease.
