crease In the number OF cases OF ty-
phoid fever represents merely the usual
increased prevalence Of this disease dur

popularity accepted opinion. August in
this District al least. seems usually to
present the heaviest incidence Of this
disease.
Records Faulty.
The record Of cases Of typhoid fever
has been kept for too brief a period TO
throw any light upon this question.
THE record Of deaths. however. ex-
tends back for years. In considering
this matter with reference to the death
record. however. it must be remembered
that deaths are more apt to occur from
two to FIVE weeks after the onset Of
the disease than at an earlier period,
and that. therefore. a heavy death rate
I'm the latter part of August and in Sep
TENDER represents an increased number
Of cases occurring during the month Of
August
show that the average number Of deaths
from typhoid fever which have occurred
in January was 1872; IN February, 4OS;
