![1865.] MAKCH. This month furnished no cases from Gallo wgate, a circumstance which had not occurred since October, 1863, and did not again occur till the close of the epi¬ demic; but Berry Lane showed a largely increased number; and an outbreak occurred in Mutton Brae which lasted four months. APEIL Berry Lane, Causewayend, Gallowgate, and Mutton Brae were this month the principal places, especially the last named, from which came at intervals, four of one family, and five of another. Both the parents in the latter case died, while the children recovered. MAY. The circumstances of this month scarcely differ from the last, except that the cases from Mutton Brae dimin¬ ished, and that an outbreak occurred in Longacre and Upper Denburn. JUNE. In this month, the cases from Berry Lane and Mutton Brae ceased, as did also those in Longacre, but not un¬ til they had trebled the number occurring in the pre¬ vious month. One nurse and two patients in the In¬ firmary were attacked. JULY. In this month, the localities were the same as last, with the addition of Guestrow, where an outbreak occurred, lasting three months ; and one patient in the Infirmary was attacked.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b30568675_0015.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
