    SPECIAL REPORT ON THE OUTBREAK OF TYPHOID FEVER IN SOUTHEND DURING JUNE AND JULY, 1902, BY J. T. C. NASH, M.D., M.S., D.P.H., MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH. Prior to dealing with the recent outbreak of Typhoid Fever, it will be advantageous as far back as possible, in a condensed form, to trace the history of Typhoid Fever in Southend-on-Sea, which presents many features of interest and instruction. For many years Southend has, with some reason, been regarded as an endemic centre of Typhoid Fever. The following table and diagram, which I have prepared from the records in the Annual Health Reports for the Borough of Southend since 1893, indicate a satisfactory decrease in the incidence of the disease year by year in the district. The total number of cases occurring in the Borough during each year are given, no deductions being made for imported disease or for cases notified as continued fever. The incidence of the disease is stated per 1000 resident population for each year.
