There have beer since July L, 1897. up

ported cases OF diphtheria in the District.
OF these twenty have occurred ia the sec
ton boundedby Eighteenth hstreeteXtended,
Columbia road, sixteenth street extended,
Spring read, Thirteenth street extended and
Florida avenue comprising tile subdivisions

three in another. one square or block eun-
tanned three eases and in the block ad1on
ing there was one case. TWO books each
contained TWO cases, and in two Instances
adjoining blocks each contained single

From the distribution Of the above casSS
in houses and blocks there appears to be
sufficient reason for believing that such
cases as have occurred have been dne 10

outside nf school, quite as much as tu eX
nosdre, If any, within the school room, In

roundings. There is no evidence TO show
suci is the case, nor has the experience OF

of the medical sanitary Inspector, after

10y luxurious modes OF life than by exposure

A further question to be determined in the

takes as next of kin, or by representation
with nephews and nieces, and if 50, does he
take per ca pira with all the nepl ews.
