Offensive Trades.
There are two small traders in the Langdon Crescent area
who carry on business under the above heading. The premises

arisen.
Disinfection.
2,344 premises were disinfected; 1,703 for infectious disease,
484 for tuberculosis, and 157 for other causes.
Infectious Diseases.
In all cases of infectious disease notified the Inspector at
once visits the premises, the sanitary arrangements and general
condition of the houses are examined and, where necessary,
sanitary notices are served upon persons responsible. If the case
is nursed at home, printed directions are given as to isolation
and prevention of the spread of the disease, and a postcard is
immediately sent by the Inspector to the school attended by any
child in the house.
A report of each case is prepared by the Inspector for the
Medical Officer of Health. The infected part of the house is
disinfected at the termination of the case.
The Librarians are notified of all infected premises and books
from infected houses are returnable direct to the Public Health
Department and disinfected before return to the respective
libraries.
All Head Teachers of schools and all pawnbrokers in the
Borough are notified weekly of infected houses.
