Mumps occurred in a series of waves from 1924 to 1928 inclusive,
but was not at all prevalent in 1929. In 1930, however,
a rather severe incidence was noted throughout the first half of the
year. In 1931, there was an irregular and gradual decline throughout
the year and in 1932 the incidence was very low. The very
low incidence of Mumps continued during 1933. The waves
showed their maxima in March, 1924; May, 1925; March, 1926;
May, 1927; March, 1928 and May, 1930, and their minima in
September, 1924; September, 1925; September, 1926; and September,
1927.
