1895, a total of 165 cases of diphtheria were notified from within
the Borough. They occurred in 131 houses, and 36 deaths were
registered.
69—The number of cases removed to the Hospital or
Infirmary amounted to 38 per cent, of ihe number notified.
70—An examination of the appended chart, which shows the
rise and foil in the numbers notified during each week, indicates that
there has been no particular outbreak, but a somewhat uniform
prevalence. The slight rise observed in the first three weeks of
July was due to the presence of undetected throat illness among

known and the usual precautions taken it ceased at once.
