were forwarded to the Jenner Institute of Preventive Medicine. In

Four Poplar parishioners died from typhoid fever, 12 fatal cases
occurred among the Bromley patients, and 8 among the Bow, making
a total of 24 deaths in 171 cases.
As is usual it will be seen that the typhoid fever cases occurred for
the most part during the end of the year.
