Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
In 1902, 1903, 1904 and 1911 Chicken-pox was compulsorily

increased, especially in 1902.
In Public Institutions within the Borough one case of
Diphtheria, ten cases of Erysipelas, two of Ophthalmia Neonatorum
and two of Chicken-pox were notified from the Workhouse; three
of Scarlet Fever and four of Diphtheria from the Intermediate
Schools; five cases of Erysipelas from the Middlesex County
Asylum; one of Scarlet Fever and one of Diphtheria from the
Fountain Hospital; 25 cases of Scarlet Fever, 34 of Diphtheria,
one of Erysipelas, one of Cerebro-spinal Meningitis and one of
Chicken-pox from the Grove Hospital; four cases of Enteric
Fever and one of Erysipelas from H.M. Prison; and one of
Chicken-pox from the Tooting Bec Asylum.
