She was removed to Orsett Hospital and died on the 7th
March. The girl was one of a family of seven children, aged
from 20 to 2 years, who lived at 6, Angle Street, Leytonstone,
a district occupied by the poorer class of inhabitant. All the
members of the family, with the exception of the father, mother,
and eldest son, who refused, were at once vaccinated by me. All
the contacts who could be discovered were followed up and kept
under observation, and fortunately no further case occurred.
The neighbouring Boroughs of West Ham and East Ham
had a considerable number of cases at about this time, so thai
we were fortunate in only having this one case.
No definite history of contact with anyone infected could be
traced, but the child paid a visit to Woolwich, travelling by tramcar
and train, on Sunday, the loth February. She bad never
been vaccinated.

ENTERIC FEVER.
7 cases were notified. 1 death occurred.
Each case was visited, and in addition to giving suitable
advice, etc., endeavour was made to trace the cause of the infection.
The following table shows conclusively that Leyton's
sanitary condition, judged by the standard of Enteric Fever incidence,
is satisfactory.
