Abstract

there had been determined, for northern communities, scarcely sufficient facts upon which one could justifiably base an extensive and expensive campaign. The question of typhoid had been considered by other investigators. The problem of diarrhoeal disease transmission had never been thoroughly studied in any northern community and it was decided that an investigation be made in which all morbidity and mortality would be accounted for, in which special attention would be paid, of course, to the diseases frequently accredited to the fly and in which particular attention would be given to the significance of the fly in diarrhoeal disease. Such a study was instituted by the Bureau during the last summer (1913). The work at the present time is by no means complete nor has the investigation been carried far enough to justify the announcement of scientifically authenticated facts. The first step of the research has been completed, however, and it is upon the results so far that we wish to report. THE PLAN. The general plan of the research, broadly stated, was to select an area in the city presenting as nearly as possible uniform conditions throughout. In this area, two sections, nearby but not adjacent, were
