on the discharge of the patient. I have good reason
to believe that in a substantial number of cases the
diagnosis is changed at the hospital.
Typhoid Fever.
There were 14 cases notified during the year.
One patient died from the disease.
Continued Fever.
One case was notified under this description.
Small-pox.
No case of Small-pox occurred in the Borough
during the year.
The last serious outbreak of Small-pox in the
Borough took place in 1904, when 118 cases were
notified. Since then, sporadic cases have occurred, as
follows:—
1905 3 1915 1 1922 1
1906 6 1918 2 1923 1
1911 3 1919 1 1925 11
The small outbreak in 1925 suffices to remind us
of the continued danger of this serious disease.
Erysipelas.
There were 80 cases notified and 3 deaths.
Malaria.
No case was notified.
Dysentery.
There were no cases reported.
Acute Polio-Myelitis and Acute PolioEncephalitis.
