SCARLET FEVER.
The number of cases of this disease notified during the year
was 367. This shows a substantial reduction compared with the
figure of 597 in 1934. Thirty cases were returned from hospital
as " not suffering " from Scarlet Fever, and there were no deaths.
SMALL-POX.
There were no cases of Small-pox, and only one re-vaccination
was performed under the Public Health (Small-pox Prevention)
Regulations, 1917.
MEASLES.
361 cases of Measles were reported to me. This was not an
epidemic year and the figures cannot therefore be usefully compared
with those of my last report. Seventy-three patients
were removed to hospital and nursing was provided for 23 patients
at home. There were four deaths, two at home and two in hospital.
OPHTHALMIA NEONATORUM.
