ENTERIC FEVER.
Of the 10 cases of this disease 2 were not reported until after
death. Of the remaining eight, seven were removed to hospital.
DIARRHŒA.
All the cases of this disease were of children, and were not
reported until after death.
CHOLERA.
Two cases were certified as dying from cholera, more probably
choleraic diarrhoea.
PUERPERAL PERITONITIS.
Only one case of death from this cause was reported during
the year.
DIPSIES.
The gipsies have given very little trouble during the past year.
SCHOOLS.
The various Public Schools in the parish were inspected during
the year, and found satisfactory with one exception, viz., the Harwood
Road Board School, where the closets were not in a proper condition.
They were, however, remedied.
SUMMONSES.
I append a statement marked "B," shewing all the summonses
taken out during the year, with the results.
In conclusion I would beg to call the attention of the Vestry to
the able manner in which the Inspectors have discharged their duties
in the past year, especially Mr. Croucher during the epidemic of
scarlet fever; and would ask the Vestry to take into consideration
the question of the appointment of an additional inspector, as, owing
to the large increase of inhabited houses, extra duties have been
thrown upon them.
I beg to thank your Vestry for the consideration and courtesy
which I have always received at your hands.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
FRANCIS EGAN, L.K.Q.C.P.I.,
Medical Officer of Health.
To the Chairman and Members of the Vestry of the Parish of Fulham.
