Deaths.—There were no deaths from scarlet fever during the year. In 1932
the number of deaths was three.
Home Isolation.—Fifty-two cases, or 5.17 per cent., were isolated at home,
and in one instance a return case occurred. The same procedure as in Diphtheria
was carried out. Three certificates of efficient home isolation were issued.
Dick Test.—This has not been employed in the neighbourhood so far as I am
aware.
