$__ Criticism of anything contained in the body of the bulletin or in any of the statistical tables will be appreciated, In referring to any article appearing in a bulletin, reference should be made to the letters and numbers in the upper right-hand corner, as well as to the serial number. The following statistics are furnished for the information of medical officers: The annual rates shown in the tables are obtained in the following way: The figure repre- senting the total original admissions to the sick list or the number of deaths reported during the week is multiplied by 1,000 and divided by the complement. The quotient is then multiplied by 52. As weekly figures always fluctuate widely, caution must be used vn interpreting annual rates calculated on a weekly basis. In the following tables it may be taken for granted where no figures appear that the disease did not occur, or, if in reference to hospitals, that no case was admitted. ?
