held 25th of July, in answer to a circular letter, did not then consider
it necessary to add diarrhoea to the list of notifiable diseases, and a
communication to this effect was sent to the Local Government

CHOLERA.
A letter was received from the Medical Officer of the London
County Council, stating that the Council had authorized him to
send to Dr. Klein material from suspected cases of Asiatic Cholera,
and that information might be sent to him concerning any suspected
case.
Dr. Klein likewise sent a letter requesting to be informed of any
death from choleraic illness.
I suggested to the Committee that a circular letter should be sent
to the practitioners, requesting them to send me immediate information
ol any case of choleraic illness, but the Committee considered
that under present arrangements the necessary information would
reach me with sufficient promptitude.
Fortunately there has been no cholera scare during the past year.
PORT SANITARY AUTHORITIES NOTIFICATIONS.
Information was received from various Port Sanitary Authorities of
52 passengers coming into my district. Forty persons arrived and
were in good health, the remaining twelve did not put in an appearance.
I communicated this fact to the various Port Medical Officers,
in case a mistake had been made as to the address. Twenty seven
immigrants were notified as coming from a shelter in Whitechapel to
this district. These persons were visited, and they were requested to
send to the offices immediate information if any case of sickness
should occur.
