Fell ill May 20th, at 13, Champion Park. Removed to Hospital
May 26th. Occupation, midwife. This case was certified as
chicken pox, but owing to the age of the patient I immediately
applied to the medical attendant for permission to visit the case
with him, which request was readily granted. We could not agree
upon the diagnosis, and with his permission I took the responsibility
of certifying the case as Small Pox and ordering her
immediate removal to Hospital, where the diagnosis of Small
Pox was confirmed. The case recovered. On interviewing other
residents in the house I found a man ill in bed and without medical
attendance. His symptoms were suspicious, and I visited him
again on the following morning, when he showed distinct
symptoms of Small Pox. (See Case 72).
