The greatest number of deaths from any one zymotic disease was
42 from diarrhoea, with one case of infantile cholera.
Apparently the extremely trying heat wave of the summer
had little effect, for in 1897, with its much cooler
summer, the deaths number 48 all told. All the cases, however,
DIARRHŒA AND
CHOLERA.
