II. THE SICKNESS.
This was light. The total number of Parish and
Dispensary patients, in the Hanover and May-fair subdistrict,
was 693; amongst whom were 4 cases of
chicken-pox, 1 each of measles and scarlatina, 5 of whooping
cough, 54 of diarrhoea, 1 ague, 16 continued fever,
52 bronchitis, and 1 diphtherite.
The case of ague occurred at 45, Carrington-mews,
to a coachman, set. 45. There were 3 cases of ague in
persons not dependent on gratuitous medical aid, in
Carrington-street, in June; and a very severe case in
Brick-street last autumn. The last named 4 cases occurred
in persons who never went away from home, and
were due, beyond doubt, to the natural wetness of the
soil in this part of the parish.
Two patients were sent to the Small-pox Hospital
from the Belgrave sub-district:—
1860—July 2nd, Samuel Best, set. 19; 20, Eatonlane-north,
unvaccinated.
„ 26th. John Miller, set. 4; 4, Ranelaghcourt,
vaccinated.
