Abstract

History of the Outbreak .—On the 1st of April one of my servants was prostrated with a peculiar fever, which at first seemed to be a severe attack of influenza. No special treatment was indicated, and it did not appear necessary to call in a medical attendant. When, however, on the following day a child of nine months was attacked in the same way, I felt alarmed, and at once proceeded to inquire as to the nature of the disease, and as to its probable origin. I soon heard of about twenty other cases, all suffering in the same way, and all living under similar conditions and in the same neighbourhood, using the same water, and, without exception, all obtaining their milk from the same dairy.
