In 86 cases the occupation of the patient brought him or her
into close relationship with the preparation of food, either for the
household, or for public consumption, or with its distribution.
This is a most undesirable association, but one which, with the
powers at present available, it would be difficult entirely to prevent.
Many patients showed signs of very marked poverty—they
were chiefly labourers and carmen, out of work through illness
or in casual employment and leading a precarious hand to mouth
existence.
