the following Chart shews the number of Deaths from Measles per 100,000
inhabitants, 1903-1922.
Whooping Cough. —Three hundred and fifty-seven cases of
Whooping Cough were reported, against 101 in the previous
year.
Forty deaths were registered. As this is not a notifiable
disease, the mortal ty rate on the cases reported is of no value,
as doubtless a very large number of cases occurred which were
not known of in the Public Health Department.
