EPIDEMIC CEREBRO-SPINAL MENINGITIS.
The returns show that 13 cases were notified during the year, which is
the same number as in the preceding year.
The disease has now been notified since 1907, and altogether 69 cases
have been notified, of which 41 have died. The fatality is, therefore,
59.4 per cent It is no wonder that the disease is dreaded by most people.
