244 TYPHOID FEVER. MALTA FEVER 



single case of enteric among the personnel of this 

 first section of the hospital. 



The second section of the hospital — medical 

 officers, nurses, and establishment, 82 in all — left 

 Southampton in May 1900. On board ship nearly 

 all of them were inoculated, but many of them only 

 once. The material for inoculation had been on 

 board for some time, and was not so fresh as in 

 the first instance. Of this second section, 1 nurse 

 had enteric at Kroonstadt. She was the only one, 

 out of a total of 36 nurses, who suffered from 

 enteric ; and she was the only nurse who was not 

 inoculated, excepting the 2 who were protected by 

 a previous attack of enteric. A third section of the 

 hospital, consisting of 4 medical officers and 16 

 nurses, went out in July ; they were all inoculated, 

 and none of them had enteric. 



" Of the second section, 5 orderlies had enteric 

 fever at Kroonstadt, of whom 2 died. Of these 

 5, there were 2 inoculated (once) and 3 non-inocu- 

 lated. Of the 2 who died, 1 had been once inocu- 

 lated, the other had not been inoculated."
