    difference being the greater number of persons of 12 years and upwards wbo are attacked by Scarlatina during the winter months than in the warmer season. This is not, however, greater than the variation possible considering the small number of persons attacked at these ages. In particular, it is to be noticed that the difference between the amount of attack rate of the school ages—^namely, 6-12—between July and the three succeeding months is just 2 per cent. As far, then, as these figures, based on the Hospital statistics, are sufficient to build any conclusion upon, they give no support to the view that Scarlatina is largely spread through the influence of the schools in Glasgow.
