    Kindly communicate this decision to your Sanitary Authority and Officials. Yours truly, Arthur Challinor, Clerk to the Board. To the Medical Officer of Health, Stoke-upon-Trent.” Erysipelas has been prevalent, as might be expected when so much sickness prevailed among the people. Measles and Whooping Cough are not included in the Schedule of Diseases to be notified as compulsory. The number of houses infected was 346. During the past year improvement has been made in the Sanitary condition of the Police Station by inspections and making good defective soil pipes, trapping and ventilating drains, and bedrooms. The cost of carrying out the Notification Act was £62 2s. 6d., and its provisions were satisfactorily fulfilled between the Medical men practising in the Borough, and your Medical Officer. Some of the cases were notified twice. The subjoined is an abstract from the last two half-yearly reports of the Vaccination Officer, from June, 1892, to June, 1893.
