Thirty-two deaths were registered. As this is not a notifiable
disease, the mortality rate on the cases reported is of no
value, as doubtless a very large number of cases occurred
which were not known of in the Public Health Department.
I have received, as heretofore, information as to cases from
the Head Teachers of the Schools of the London County
Council.
The homes of the patients were visited by your Inspectors,
and the parents advised as .to the precautions that should be
taken.
The following Chart shows the number of Deaths from Whooping-Cough
per 100,000 inhabitants, 1906-1925.
Chicken Pox Four hundred and two cases of Chicken
Pox were reported, against three hundred and eleven in the
previous year.
In every case the premises were visited by one of your
Inspectors and the parents advised as to the precautions
necessary.
Pneumonia One hundred and forty-two cases of Pneu
monia (thirty-three Influenzal Pneumonia and one hundred
and nine Primary Pneumonia) were notified during the year.
The majority of the patients were treated at home.
