Drains and sanitary fittings are tested as a routine procedure
in all infected houses in cases of diphtheria, enteric and puerperal
fever, and as regards other diseases in such instances as may be
found necessary. It should of course be remembered in this connection
that where defects are found, it does not follow that these are
necessarily the cause of the disease. Indirectly, however, they may
be so.
The tests employed are usually the ordinary Smoke test and
Chemical test (Kingzett's).

Table: The following table gives the drainage defects, &c., in houses in which cases of infectious disease were notified during 1910.
