This disease is apparently diminishing rnpidly except in New Haven county, where 100 cases were reported during the month. In the case of pulmonary tuberculosis, e May tetal of 131 cases was unusually low, and the 134 cases reported in June Is practically the normal incidence the disease. The reporting of tubercu- losis is improving éach month and indi- cates that people are taking advantage of the knowledge we now have that an early visit to a physician with the early diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis means a cure in most cases. Pulmonary tuberculosis was reported from all coun- ties in the state, but the reporting of cases is apparently better and more com- plete from those ¢ ynties where the state sanatoria are car:d The unusual amous: of scarlet fever that has prevailed in Connecticut the past two years is at last decreasing in such a way as to suggest that this dis- ease will be less prevalent in the coming winter than in 1719 and 1920. The June cases were confined largely to.Hartford, Fairfleld and New Haven counties, 146 acses of the 179 for the month being reported from these counties. Diphtheria was reported from all see- tions of the state except in Windham county. This disease in/May was report- ed from the larger population centers, but the June distribution of the cases |eovered many of the'smaller towns in the state. An increase in this disease in June is unusual and should be taken as a warning to call: physicians early in all Icases of sore throat, in order that the nose and throat may be swabbed and a search made by the bacteriolozist in the state laboratory for the germs of diph- hatltperia.

June, 1948 cases of communi- | cable diseases were reported to the |y state department of health by health of- [ ficers in Connecticut. New Haven led with 592 cases, Fair- field county was second with 479 cases and Hartford county with 415 cases was third. New London county had 146 cases and Windham county 60. Tolland and Middlesex counties reported but 15 and 31 cases of communicable diseases re- spectively, an exceptionally low number of cases, suggestifig that parents do not call physicians in cases of communicable disease to the exient that it is done in the urban districts, and cases fail to be reported. 4 In proportion to the poulation, greatést incidence of diseases was in Litchfield county where the outbreak of measles coutributed largely toward dhe rate of 272 cases of diseases per 100,000 population for the onth.. Fairfield county with a rate of was second, while New Haven County with 139 and New London county wits 137 cases per 100,000 were practically tied for third place.
