DEATHS IN

PAST 3 MONTHS

LAST WEEK'S FIGURES WERE HIGHEST THIS YEAR

TWO HUNDRED AND FIVE notifications of persons suffering from typhoid fever in Hong- kong have been received by the Medical Depart- ment during the past three months.

Forty-six persona have died from typhoid in the same period.

The Medical Department, in a recent statement, said that there was no reason to fear an epidemic.

But the disturbing fact remains that the notifications: and number of deaths are undoubtedly increasing each week.

Last week, for instance, seventeen cases, with eight; deaths, were notified by the Medical Department.

This is the highest number of deaths on record for any week| this year.

It represents, also a death rate that is almost fifty per cent. of the casos notified.

The eight deaths from typhoid last week means that one-sixth
