From these figures it may be assumed that the greatest
number in Hospital on any one day during the epidemic of
1902 was, say, thirty.
In 1902 the population of Willesdcn was estimated at
Midsummer at 122,211. The Midsummer population ot
1914 was estimated at 166,634. If an outbreak of equal prevalence
to that of 1902 should now occur, it would appear
from these figures that the greatest number of patients who
might be under treatment in Kingsbury Hospital on any
one day during the epidemic would be 41 ; for administrative
convenience, say 47.
