The outbreak of Chicken Pox was practically confined to a school for small children in the town, and after closure for a period on my advice, did not spread. Two of the Cases of Scarlet Fever were admitted to the Isolation Hospital. Beyond these two cases we admitted no other cases to the Hospital during the year. There were no deaths from notifiable diseases during the year. As far as one can tell, notification of Tuberculosis cases continue to be satisfactory in the District. The ages of the Scarlet Fever cases were 3, 6 and 14 respectively; of the Chicken Pox cases five were under 5 years of age, seventeen were between 5-10 years, five between 10 and 15 years of age and one at 25 years of age. The ages of the Tuberculosis cases were :— (1) Male Pulmonary, 8 years and 30 years. Non-Pulmonary, 13 years. (2) Female Pulmonary, 7 years and 27 years. Non-Pulmonary, 35 years. There have been no special or noteworthy causes of illness during the year.
