total deaths, the number removed from the district as far as could
be ascertained, the number who were stated to have recovered, the

In all 3,188 cases have been notified, and of these 1,276 or 40
per cent. have died, 649 or 20.4 per cent. have removed, 92 or 2.9
per cent. are stated to have recovered, in 48 or 1.5 per cent. no

It will be noted that in 1912 and 1913 inquiries have been
made in every case, although in 40 cases in 1912 and 55 in 1913
these inquiries were made at my request by the private medical
practitioner.
