18
EPIDEMIC INFLUENZA.
Four deaths were notified against 6 last year.
There was nothing in the shape of an Epidemic.
EPIDEMIC DIARHŒRA.
No deaths were recorded under this heading,
and as far as I know the district has been very
free from this disease.
ANTHRAX, GLANDERS AND HYDROPHOBIA.
No cases were notified by the Inspectors
under the Diseases of Animals Act, l894.
ISOLATION HOSPITAL ACCOMMODATION.
There is an arrangement with the Tolworth
Isolation Hospital by which cases can be sent
from Teddington; cases can also be sent to the
Hampton Isolation Hospital. In some instances
cases are recommended to go to the London
Fever Hospital.
SMALL-POX HOSPITAL ACCOMMODATION.
I understand that although no actual agreement
exists with any Small-Pox Hospital, there
would not be the slightest difficulty in dealing
with a case should one occur.
CHOLERA.
One notice was received from the London
Port Sanitary Authority of a passenger coming
from a ship which had touched an infected port.
The case was kept under observation.
PLAGUE.
No cases have come under my notice. A rat
which caused some suspicion was sent to the Local
Government Board Specialist for examination, but
no signs of the disease could be detected.
