An outbreak in May 1937 of about 130 cases of mild Sonne dysentery with no deaths. The outbreak was spread by ice-cream made under very unsatisfactory conditions, but no carrier case or specific source of infection ascertained. The very scattered nature of the outbreak, involving five different sanitary areas, with place of preparation in a sixth, is a feature of interest.
