C— B— was first taken ill on May 20th, she probably
contracted the disease on May 7th, the day when the
patient H— was first taken ill with the disease. The
patient C—B— had been vaccinated in infancy, but never
re-vaccinated until May 14th, i.e., seven days after she had
presumably contracted the disease.
No.72.—Case of C— B—, senior, age 70, no occupation, residing
in Carthew Road. She was first taken ill on May 23rd.
A rash appeared on May 25th. The case was diagnosed
as variola on the some day, and removed the following day
by the Metropolitan Asylums Board to Rotherhithe. She
had resided at the house for one year. By reference to
my report, Case No. 68, it will be seen that a case of variola
was removed on May 11th. As the patient C— B—,
senior, was first taken ill on May 23rd, she probably contracted
the disease on May 10th, i.e., the day the patient
A— H— was removed from the house. She had been
vaccinated in childhood, but not since.
NTo 73.—Case of C— R—, age 23, a tailor, employed at George
Street, Hanover Square, and residing in Sterne Street.
He was first taken ill on June 2nd. A rash appeared on
June 5th. The case was diagnosed as variola on June 6th,
and removed the some day by the Metropolitan Asylums
Board to Rotherhithe. He had resided at the house for
18 months. There had been no case of illness lately at the
house, but at George Street, Hanover Square, where he
was employed, a case was removed about three
weeks before. He had been vaccinated when a child,
but not since.
No. 74.—Case of G— B—, age 36, a painter, employed at various
places, but lately employed in Seething Lane, and residing
in Porten Road, but he removed to this address from Blythe
Road on May 21st. He was first taken ill on June 3rd.
A rash appeared on June 5th. The case was diagnosed as
• variola on June 7th by the patient's private medical
attendant, and removed the some day by the Metropolitan
Asylums Board to Rotherhithe. He had resided at the
house for 13 days before he was first taken ill. He had
previously resided since September last at Blythe Road.
There had been no previous case of illness lately, either at
the house in Porten Road, or at the house in Blythe Road,
and I was unable to obtain any evidence as to how he had
contracted the disease. He had been vaccinated when an
infant, but not since.
