ERYSIPELAS.
The 29 cases of this disease represent infection in 29 different
premises. In 1 of these, insanitary conditions of a slight nature
existed, and in one case the sanitary defects were grave. In 5 cases
there was a previous local injury, and in 2 a history of previous attacks.
ENTERIC OR TYPHOID FEVER.
The 14 cases notified during the year all occurred in different
houses. In two of these houses grave insanitary conditions existed,
and in one slight insanitary conditions existed; while in the
remaining 11 there were no insanitary conditions. Three of the cases
doubtless contracted the disease outside of London during the summer
and autumn holidays. The origin of the infection remained quite
obscure in the majority of cases; and in many instances, as I pointed
out in a previous Report, the patient had been ailing for several
weeks before he took to his bed and the disease was diagnosed.
