Three Weeks

Cholera deaths are mounting at on alarming rate in Slam, according to Intest reports received in Hongkong. Deaths and cases last week were greater than for any week since the

present epidemie began, over three

months ago.

In the week ended last Saturday there were 594 deaths from cholera, as compared with 203 deaths in the previous week. The total number of enses reported was 844, as against 504 for the previous week.

In three weeks there have been over 1,000 deaths.

Last week's figures for the city of Bangkok alone reves! 112 deaths out of a total of 187 cases, the corres- ponding figures for the previous week being 70 and 125. It will therefore be seen that the incidence, already high, is increasing.

Doctors throughout the kingdom are busy inoculating people against the disease.
