Only 9 cases of typhoid fever required admission to the hospital, and none of these proved fatal. In addition, 5 mild cases of para-typhoid fever were removed from one household in Torry. The bacillus found in these cases was that known as type B. No cases of smallpox or typhus fever were treated. A few cases of other zymotics were admitted, such as erysipelas, puerperal fever, and whooping cough; and several cases were admitted as contacts, or as suffering from diseases simulating certain zymotics.
