In contrast with the gravity of the! typhoid situation, it is satisfactory to note that during' the month of June, one true case of cholera has been diagnosed. If some cases of diarrhea had cholera symptoms, the laboratory has not identified on specific cholera erin. A comparison with last year hows that in the month of June 1038, 246 cases of cholera were noted, fof which five were amongst foreign fers; the disease frst' appeared towards the end of May.
It may be noted that this result, which, up to the end of June, shows 4 gain of one month on the duration of 4 possible epidemic, owes something to the anti-cholera inoculations which have been done. Over 2,200,000 {injections given last' year were responsible for the immunization of a large number of residents. The prophylactic efforts going on this year will complete and strengthen "last year's results; residents in every part of the Concession have been "n= culated. "This will be followed by more detailed vaccination of dis tricts where last year's epidemic raged with the greatest intensity. During the month of June, 415,183 inoculations were performed, and the vaccine employed amounts to 645,560 ce. Since the-beginning of the campaign this year, a total of 3,029,300 inoculations Nave been given and the quantity of vaccine used amounts to 1,460,640 ce. Against typhoid, only 489 injections were given.
Tu completing the review of the health situation during June, one uld note the persistence of lapsing fever and" typhi affections, however, do not become epidemic for they reach their peal in June and disappear gradually in July.
