If we take into account, in the first place, only the percentage figures to the total ad- 

 missions, we find that the Respiratory cases admitted during the epidemic weeks consti- 

 tuted 26"1 p.c. of the whole, after the epidemics only 20'3 p.c, the normal being 21*3 

 p.c. Cases of Pneumonia were 5'9 p.c. of the total during, 3'9 p.c. after the epidemics, 

 the normal mean being 4*04 p.c. The similar figures for Pleurisy were 4*3 p.c. during, 

 3*3 p.c. after, with a mean of 3 "43 p.c. Cases of Heart disease constituted 8*8 p.c. 

 during, 9*63 p.c. after the attacks, the normal being 9 '01 p.c. Kidney diseases varied 

 only slightly : 4*2 p.c. of the whole during the attacks, they formed 5 "08 p.c. after them. 

 Cases of Acute Rheumatism were below the normal in both instances. The Nervous 

 system seemed to be less affected during the outbreaks than more affected after them, 

 the figures being 14"3 p.c. before, 16'9 p.c. after, and the normal 16*34 p.c. The
