the average of the last ten years. But then it must be taken into consideration
wo have had an epidemic of Measles, causing 75 deaths, an excess of 11 over the???
number during the last 10 years, and also of Scarlatina which caused 60. The
number of deaths from Scarlatina was in 1879—80, when the deaths wero 80.
At that timo wo had no Asylums to which we could send infectious cases.
During the year 120 cases of Scarlet Fever, 1 of Smallpox, and 2 from
Fever were sent to the Asylum by my orders, 48 of Scarlet Fovor, and 6 of???
Fever by the Relieving Officers.
In the Annual Report of the Ambulance Committee it is stated that in the
of October no less than 1365 patients wero admitted.
I hope next year to be able to report that a bill has been passed in Parliam???
the compulsory notification of infectious diseases.
There have been no deaths from Small Pox, 2 only having boon removed to Ho???
