to place before your Committee evidence which, coming to
my knowledge at a subsequent time, places the question of
causation beyond reasonable doubt.
Confirmatory Evidence, Case I.
A family living at Canterbury Road, obtained regular
supply of milk from Dairy F. A special consignment,
however, was purchased daily from Dairy B., for the exclusive
use of D., a child in delicate health, and served to him
in a raw state whilst he was confined to bed. During the
time D. was drinking milk from Dairy B., symptoms of
Typhoid fever gradually developed themselves. He alone
of the family drank from Dairy B., and he alone was
attacked with Typhoid fever.
Confirmatory Evidence, Case II.
Residing at Chale Road, beyond the boundaries of the
Parish, R. obtained his household supply at Dairy G., but
employed at work in the Parish, he ate his midday meal at
a place within the epidemic area. When taking milk with
his food, a not unfrequent practice, he obtained it indirectly
from Dairy B. His case was notified from St. Thomas's
Hospital on April 3rd.
Confirmatory Evidence, Case III.
A child living at Herbert Road, and in bed suffering from
Rheumatic fever, was fed chiefly on milk from Dairy B.
served in a raw state. Before complete recovery from
Rheumatic fever took place, symptoms of Typhoid
developed themselves. The case was notified on April 5th.
