We should be glad to have more regular and definite
information of patients from this district entering sanatoria
—how long they have to wait for admission—whether the
provision of accommodation is keeping pace with the
enormous increase in population.
NON-NOTIFIABLE INFECTIOUS DISEASE.
Measles, Whooping Cough, and Chicken-pox are always
very prevalent in the schools of the district in the springtime.
We do not pretend to have much control. The Head
Teachers send us lists of those children suffering from these
complaints, every week, and exclude from the schools those
of the family who have so far not suffered from them.
