The Health of Barking
"Other infectious diseases were of a low incidence and I do not think you need
worry unduly about them so far as your own wee baby is concerned."
There were many other questions put to me by John and Mary to do with
what we call environmental health, but their questions were not of the same personal
interest and, incidentally, did not cover all that I would wish to write on this subject.
I am, therefore, continuing this Report on more orthodox lines.
