The Local Government Board issued a circular to the various
Sanitary Authorities, asking them to be on the alert to detect any cases
that might occur in their districts.
This communication came to hand during the summer vacation. The
matter being one of considerable importance, the medical practitioners
of the Borough were at once circularized, calling their attention to the
subject, and a copy of the Local Government Board's "Memorandum"
was enclosed.
No case of this disease has occurred during 1905.
