Dr.. Koch made it clear at the outset of his speech that he was not bringing the resolution forward in any antagonistic split to his medical confreres in that depart ment. He recognised that owing to stress of work they were unable to undertake such an investigation, and he ventured to think that he had their approval of his resolution. They had had in the Colony a steady and persistent prevalence of typhoid fever, which became more noticeable from time to time as it claimed, prominent victimis.
