PNEUMONIA.
Pneumonia in notifiable form accounted for the illness
of 110 persons.
Influenza attacked the country generally at the end of
1936. The infection took the form for the most part of a
short sharp illness from which recovery was rapid.
It would appear that death tended to occur in those over
50 years of age rather than in the young adult group which
has suffered so badly in severe outbreaks of influenza.
