INFLUENZA.
Thirty-two deaths were registered as due to
influenza, against 14 deaths in the previous year. No
official action was taken in reference to this complaint,
as no application was made for the disinfection of
premises.
PHTHISIS.
Your Council decided to ask Medical Practitioners
to voluntarily notify cases of phthisis in the Borough
on and after April 7th. Altogether, since that date,
127 cases were notified. These were only a small
proportion of the cases that occurred, as 167 deaths
were registered, against 164 deaths in the previous
year. In all cases notified or in which death occurred
the premises were at once inspected, and after death
in all cases occurring in dwelling houses an offer was
made to disinfect the premises at the expense of your
Council. In every case a printed instruction as to the
course that should be adopted for the prevention of
consumption was left at the premises. In several
instances advantage was taken of the offer of your
Council to disiufect the premises.
