Particulars as to the 23 genuine cases of Smallpox notified in
Lambeth Borough during 1904, are as follows:—
(1-2) Ada M., aged 10 weeks, unvaccinated, and her father, Henry M.,
aged 33 years, vaccinated in infancy, were removed from 25. China Walk,
on January 3rd and January 21st respectively, the former having caught the
disease from her mother (Mary M.), who was removed to Hospital on
December 22nd, 1903, and had sickened on December, 18th, 1903. Henry M.
sickened January 16th, 1904, i.e., 13 days from January 3rd, on which date
he kissed his daughter, Ada M., prior to her removal to Hospital; and
Ada M. sickened December 31st, 1903.
(3) Stanley Edward M., aged 25 years, vaccinated in infancy, sickened
on March 8th, and was removed to Hospital on March 14th, from 271,
Brixton Road, suffering from Smallpox, which he had contracted at Port
Said, where cases occurred on board the s.s. “Assaye,” in which boat
Stanley Edward M. was returning to England. No other case occurred in
connection with 271, Brixton Road.
(4-6) Richard C., aged 52 years, sickened with Smallpox on March 10th,
and was removed to Hospital on March 15th, from 187, Railton Road.
There was a doubtful history of vaccination in infancy, but no marks of
vaccination were visible. The source of Richard C.’s infection was the
London Hospital (out-patient department), where he was attending for
spinal trouble, and where several cases of Smallpox had recently occurred.
From Richard C. 2 other cases arose, viz.: Ann B., aged 64 years, vaccinated
in infancy, living at 187, Railton Road, and Mary Ann P., aged 38 years
vaccinated in infancy, living at 138, Mayall Road, and visiting at 187,
Railton Road. Ann B. sickened March 28th, and was removed to Hospital
on March 30th, whilst Mary Ann P. sickened March 25th, and was removed
to Hospital on March 29th.
(7) Elizabeth G., aged 28 years, vaccinated in infancy, sickened with
Smallpox on March 21st, and was removed to Hospital from 43, Newport
Street, on March 24th, having caught the disease from Bertha B., at 17,
Betterton Street (Westminster), where she visited Bertha B. on March 7th,
i.e., 2 days prior to Bertha B. being removed to the Smallpox Hospital. No
other case arose from 43, Newport Street.
(8) James M., aged 20 years, vaccinated in infancy, sickened with Smallpox
at 9, Farnham Royal, on April 7th, and was removed to Hospital on
April 11th. It is supposed that he caught his disease whilst at work as a
a plumber's mate in the City. No other case arose from 9, Farnham Royal.
