Food Poisoning.
This disease is notifiable in Edmonton, but no cases have been reported
during the year.
Rheumatism.
The relatively large number of children incapacitated by heart trouble
caused by Acute Rheumatism is a matter of deep concern, and the Education
Committee have decided to establish a clinic for the treatment of such cases,
with arrangements at the local Prince of Wales's Hospital for in-patients if
necessary.
Pneumonia.
The number of cases of primary pneumonia was slightly higher compared
with last year, but secondary cases following influenza were extremely small
owing to the absence of this complaint.
Infantile Diarrhœa.
The death-rate per 1,000 live births for London as a whole was 14.4,
whilst that for Edmonton was 6.2 as compared with 11.2 and 13.6
respectively last year.

Table: The following table gives the age incidence, etc., of those suffering from notifiable diseases, excluding tuberculosis, which is dealt with separately.

It must be noted that the figures in the second column as being removed
to hospital includes those already under treatment at a hospital—for instance,
the North Middlesex County Hospital.
This remark applies more particularly to the infections associated with
parturition and include puerperal fever, puerperal pyrexia and ophthalmia
neonatorum.
