Doctors on the whole did not find it more severe than former epidemics of in- fluenza, but it was very contagious and tlie number of deaths was the fourtli highest since the epidemic of 1918. It is to be noted, however, that the number of deaths from pneumonia was the lowest ever recorded and by far lower than in the previous year. It miglit be suspected therefore that the deaths of some old people really dying from noninfluenzal pneumonia have been ascribed to influenza. With exception of influenza communicable diseases were of no great consequence during the year. 5. Venereal Diseases.
