Diarrhœa.
Twenty deaths occurred; 16 were under six
months of age and 4 under one year. There were
3 cases in July, 8 in August, and 4 in September,
and the localities chiefly affected were in the course
of the old Latchmere Brook and the Hogg's Mill
stream.
Measles.
Fifty cases occurred in one school, which was
closed for 14 days in May and June. Six deaths
were recorded, all under five years of age, and
nearly all from complications. It will be observed
that this disease is much more fatal than Scarlet
Fever.
Influenza.
Eleven deaths were recorded, 10 of them being
in the early spring, but nearly all were complicated
with other diseases.
