![The above Table shows the Notifications received during the year, also the deaths. The total number of Notifica- tions received was 116. 20 of these were duplicates, and are therefore excluded from the above Table, and 9 were imported cases. Included in the deaths are 10 cases of which no Notifica- tion was received prior to the death certificate. In two of these cases the disease was only discovered at post mortem; in two the medical attendants thought they had already been notified by other doctors; in five cases the diagnosis was made very shortly before death; and one case was an “inward” transfer. NEW REGULATIONS. Two important Regulations were added by the Ministry to our methods of prevention during 1925: first the com- pulsory segregation of persons suffering from an advanced stage of the disease (Public Health Act, 1925, Section 62), and secondly the power to prevent tuberculous persons en- gaging in the Milk Trade [Public Health (Prevention of Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1925]. So far, it has not been necessary to take any legal action under either of these Regulations in the City, as the action desired has been obtained without legal proceedings. The following Table shows the number of Notifications received during the last ten years: — 1921 1922 192.3 1924 1925 1926 1927 1928 1929 1930 Total. 209 144 130 133 124 128 127 134 101 96 1326](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29199086_0069.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
