Board's Western Fever Isolation Hospital. Five
cases were treated by the West London Hospital, 5 at the
Middlesex Hospital, and 92 at the homes of the patients.
The mortality rate on the cases reported in the parish
was 19.6 per cent.
WHOOPING COUGH.
Twenty-nine cases were reported as due to whooping
cough, against 61 cases in the previous year.
Twenty-eight of the cases reported last year were treated
at home, and were not reported until after death, and 1
case was not reported until after recovery. As this is not
a notifiable disease it is of no use my giving the mortality
rate on the cases reported, as, doubtless, a very large
number of cases occurred which were not known of in
your Public Health Department.
ENTERIC FEVER.
Forty-six cases were reported as due to enteric
fever, against 53 in the previous year. Five of the
cases reported last year were treated at the Western
Fever Isolation Hospital of the Metropolitan Asylums
Board, 2 at St. George's Hospital, 1 at the Fulham Union
Infirmary, and 38 at the homes of the patients. The
mortality rate on the cases reported was 17.4 per cent.
