Addendum to the Report by the Council.
The only remark which the Council would desire to add to
the Medical Officer's report is that if the medical gentlemen engaged
in the earlier stages of the outbreak had availed themselves
of the facilities offered by the late Vestry and the present Council
for the bacteriological examination of doubtful or suspected cases
of typhoid, there would, in all probability have been no more than
one or two isolated cases of typhoid, and certainly not so many
as could be described in any sense as an outbreak.
