INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND THE MEASURES TAKEN
TO PREVENT THEIR SPREAD.
It will be seen from Table B that 221 Notification Certificates of
Infectious Illness were received from medical practitioners, as against
224 during the preceding year. These figures include notifications
of Consumption; and they represent a slight reduction in the prevalence
of communicable disease, as compared with the figures for
1909.
