Abstract

At the request of the sanitary officer of the Launceston Corporation I
have, at different times, examined 11 samples of water collected by him
during his enquiries into outbreaks of typhoid fever ; to the results -
obtained I shall refer later on, only stating now that they show painful
neglect of the simplest necessary health precautions ; some of the figures are given in the table before you, also analyses of Hobart and
other waters for comparison.
