Whenever a notice stating that a case is or was not suffering from a notifiable
disease is received from one of your Medical Officers or Superintendents, the
Medical Practitioner has one of the enclosed letters sent to him by me. If he
should not answer such communication, my Public Health Committee direct
the Town Clerk to write him.
My Committee feel very strongly that, as the Poplar Borough Council afford
facilities to practitioners to verify their diagnosis, they should avail themselves
of such opportunities.
I may add that if charged outfits can be forwarded so as to reach the Jenner
Institute of Preventive Medicine before 6 p.m., I receive the result of examination
by telegram about noon the next day.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
(Sgd.) FREDK. WM. ALEXANDER,
Medical Officer of Health.

Dear Sir,
re
I beg to inform you that
aged of the above address, notified by you on
and admitted into the Hospital on

been certified to me as not having that complaint or any other notifiable
disease.
I would respectfully remind you that
this Council supplies outfits
you have an outfit )
for
taking from doubtful cases of *
for bacteriological examination. This Council is anxious that such outfits
should be used, so that doubtful cases should not occupy the beds of true
cases, and, moreover, should not run the risk of removal to an infectious
diseases hospital.
I shall be glad l,o know if a bacteriological examination was made in
this case.
Yours faithfully,
Medical Officer of Health.
