The Reply,
The MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH replied: After careful enquiry into all recent cases I have not found any evidence to justify the appre- hension that typhoid has assumed or is likely to assume epidermic portions at present.
Bource of Infection? The second question was: Has the source of infection in the cases mentioned in (1) been traced and, if so, what is it? If not, will the
Medical Oficer of Health be so kind as to explain, what, in his opinion, led to the disease being contracted by the patient who unfortunately succumbed to the disease?
Reply.
The MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH replied: The actual source of the infection has not been traced in these cases. In the absence of de- finita knowledge as to the source. I am unable to express an opinion as to the probable cause of the in- fection. This applies also to the fatal case. who I might add ved in an Institution frem which ne other cases have been reported.
