So that from the above particulars it will be seen that
there has been no particular prevalence of this disease during
the past year. Several of the cases that were notified appeared
to be of a mild type. It is here that the provision of
free bacteriological examination would be of great use, as it
is impossible in some cases to say if it is Diphtheria without
a bacteriological examination.
From Table III. it will be seen that there has been no
prevalence on the south side of the High Road, as was
contended by some. As a matter of fact, the largest number
notified in any one ward was 32 in the Park Ward. This
prevalence was, however, more apparent than real.
ENTERIC FEVER.
During the past year 35 cases have been notified. One
death was registered from this disease in the South Hainault
Ward, giving a death-rate of .01 per 1,000 living, or 2.8 per
cent. of the cases notified.
In 1905, 22 cases were notified, with 4 deaths, giving a
death-rate of .06 per 1,000, or 18.18 per cent. of the cases
notified.
