Enteric Fever.
One case occurred in August in the person of a female
aged 19 years. She presented a typical ease of this
condition and the disease ran a normal course. Careful
investigations were undertaken and no clue was obtained
as to the source of her infection. She came from a
modern house which had main water supply and drainage
; no other member of the family was in any way
affected. On enquiry, it was stated that she had not
taken a meal outside her house for six weeks and she
had not consumed any article of food which could be
suspected. Fortunately, she made a complete recovery
and suffered from 110 complications.
