INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
The District Health Inspector (Mr M. O’Brien) reported to the Hospital and Charitable Aid Board on Thursday as follows: —“During the month of March we had a considerable increase in the number of cases of infectious diseases notified, the same standing at 30 as against 15 for the month of February. No assignable cause can be advanced for the rise, nor for the cases generally. The local conditions, with one exception, were good. Cases recurring in the same house were those of contact. When we find three children, sleeping in one bed, and one ill, no (Joubt, suffering from a bad throat, we can expect nothing else than that the whole three will become affected. The distribution of the eases is as follows: Palmerston, diphtheria twenty-two and one cose of tuberculosis, the latter being fatal; Peilding, one ease of phthisis, and the death of one ease reported on a previous occasion; Foxton, diphtheria one; Kairanga, diphtheria one; and Manawatu diphtheria four. The diphtheria cases were all of a mild type.
