The above table shows that the greatest number of cases
occurred in the month of May. It is a curious fact that for a
rule there is a very much larger number of cases in the first half
of the year than in the second. It is usually the case that the
disease almost entirely disappears towards the latter end of June.
Last year, however, owing to the virulence and extent of the
epidemic, the disease did not disappear until the month of December.
It is satisfactory to be able to report that during the
present year (1882) there has been almost a total absence of the
disease in this district.
