Thomas S—(case 8, who was not related to the
family), Augustus S—(case 2), being her son-in-
law : fell ill towards the latter end of July; the case
was notified by Dr. G.—, on 2nd August. She
was removed to hospital, and died on the 6th
August.
Case 11.— A Mrs. W—, aged 44, living in Paddington,
who had visited Mrs. S— (case 1). and had been
in frequent communication with other sufferers, fell
ill on or about 18th July; the case was notified,
July 26th ; she died 30th July.
Case 12 (?).—On or about 26th July, Mrs. T—, Clydesdale-mews,
who had nursed, more or less, all of the
above cases, fell ill. She was attended by Dr.
E—, who, however, did not notify her illness, and,
therefore, of course, did not regard it as typhoid.
But the nurse herself said her symptoms were
similar to those observed in her patients, and,
having been ill a month, she felt sure she had had
" the fever."
[A married couple, Mr. and Mrs. H—, aged respectively
25 and 23 years, who lived in Paddington, fell ill July
25th ; the cases were notified as enteric fever on 5th August;
the patients were removed to hospital on the 7th, and died on
the 12th and 19th respectively, There 1s a suspicion of connection
between these cases and the group, but not very clear.
The young woman who attended on them at home, when they
were supposed to be suffering from influenza, was a friend of the
mother of Mrs. Arthur R—(wife of case 9). There had been
a good deal of visiting amongst the various members of the
family: formal complaint was made to me, in particular, in
respect of Mrs. Arthur R—, herself, who persisted in going
about amongst her friends whilst nursing her husband.]
