Isolation Hospital. Liverpool Corporation Infectious Hospital. Sanatoria. None provided at present. Measles. There were cases of this trouble in the Spring, but of not sufficient numbers as to constitute an epidemic. Tuberculosis. The number of persons notified under this heading was thirty- one, twenty-five of whom were pulmonary, and six non-pulmonary. These notifications are ten more than were received last year. The ratio of non-notified tuberculosis deaths to the total tuberculosis deaths is Influenza. This complaint was fairly general from the end of February to the end of March in a very mild form, and did not give rise to any increased mortality. Scarlet Fever. This disease was present in a mild form all through the year and caused no deaths. Thirty cases were notified, and of these fourteen cases came from six houses, and, of these, again, four cases came from one house. Sixteen patients were removed to Hospital.
