DYSENTERY
Dysentery notifications were greatly reduced in 1958 after a

three instances two or more children in the same family were affected.
FOOD POISONING
No outbreak of food poisoning came to the notice of the Health
Department during the year, and of the 19 single cases notified only
one was confirmed.
