These are cases of recurrence after an interval. Cases of
recurrence after a day or two were impossible to tabulate as the
condition ran on from the original attack and men, were usually
"out" during the whole of it and not under observation. Except
in the case of departmental heads, who had to carry on though
feeling ill. These cases were very suggestive, though useless for
statistical purposes, as it was found in several cases that having
been taken ill on the Friday and Saturday of the original outbreak
they recovered on Sunday, when they were not at the Factory, and
on Sunday night felt comparatively well and able to take food
without distress, they continued well on Monday until the evening,
when they had a severe recurrence of symptoms.
