THE VOLUNTARY NOTIFICATION OF PHTHISIS.
The voluntary notification of Phthisis, which has been practised in
Islington since January 1st, 1905, has resulted in the following cases having
been notified to the Medical Officer of Health :—In 1905, 81; 1906, 64; 1907,
68. These, however, can represent only a small proportion of the cases that
must have occurred.
The Relieving Officers have given intimation of cases coming under their
notice, so that in addition to the 68 cases in 1907 that were notified by
Medical Practitioners, information respecting 69 was also obtained. The
figures relative to the notification of this disease for the last three years stand
as follows:—
