On the Epidemiology of Cape Colony and Natal in 1862-63
نویسنده
چکیده
Cape Colony, and towards the end of the year at Natal. It continued at various points in the beginning of 1862. Diphtheria was seen among the children of the civil population at Keisham Hoeck, in March 1862; and what is denominated ulcerated sore throat, with a tendency to catarrhal and bronchitic affections, was frequent at Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, and Fort Beaufort. Fever, mostly of the typhoid form, and diarrhoea, were also frequent at Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, probably determined, at the latter place at least, by night soil deposited in the various gullies through the town, and the brackishness of the water employed for domestic use.
