Thirty-two houses were disinfected, fumigated, and
cleansed after the occurrence of infectious diseases, 27
houses were so treated after Scarlet Fever, 2 after Diphtheria,
and 2 after Typhoid. And in no case was there
a recurrencc of the disease after these sanitary measures
had been employed.
I beg to refer the reader to the Table VI. for the
figures in respect of the new sewers and branch drains
constructed during the year, and also for the figures
relating to the abatement, removal or abolishment of
nuisances and for the other Sanitary Works set forth
therein.
The Cowsheds and Slaughterhouses underwent the
usual annual inspection. They were all found in a
satisfactory condition and the owners obtained a renewal
of their licenses.
I may, in conclusion congratulate the inhabitants
of Streatham and Tooting on the high Sanitary position
of the Sub-District which has, I think, been fully shewn
in this Report.
F. F. SUTTON, M.D.,
Medical Officer of Health for Streatham and Tooting.
