contagium was traced to Bermondsey Borough, where he had been
visiting. Sharing the one infected room with Walter P. for 4 days
were his wife (Mrs. P.), re-vaccinated, and his 2 children, aged 4 and
1 years respectively (both vaccinated) ; and not one of these three
sickened. A child (aged 3 years and vaccinated), living in the same
house, but on another floor, caught the disease from this source (see
case 86).
(44, 45 and 46) Florrie C., aged 17 years, vaccinated, of 52, Claylands
Road, Clapham Road, sickened on January 24th, 1902, and was
removed to Hospital on January 27th, 1902. The source of infection
was an unrecognised case of modified Smallpox in her sister (May),
engaged at the Kennington Theatre Pantomime, who sickened January
12th, 1902, and probably infected also—
(a) Florence A., aged 36 years, vaccinated, sickening January 23rd,
1902, and being removed to Hospital on January 27th, 1902,
from 48, Hemberton Road, Stockwell; and
(b) Sarah B. D., aged 20 years, vaccinated, sickening February 1st,
1902, and being removed to Hospital on February 6th, 1902,
from 6, Homer House, Ardville Road, Brixton.
Two other inmates at 52, Claylands Road (both adults and both vaccinated)
were re-vaccinated at once, and neither caught the disease.
(47) James A. T., aged 52 years, vaccinated, sickened at 92, Westminster
Bridge Road (a common lodging-house) on January 26th, 1802,
and was removed to Hospital on January 29th, 1902. James A. T.
was a tramp, and contracted his disease as such, in all probability.
The 6 officers of the lodging-house had been vaccinated, 3 re-vaccinated
and one had had an attack of Smallpox. No case occurred amongst
them.
(48) James C., aged 30 years, vaccinated, of 2, Ann Street, Waterloo
Road, sickened January 27th, 1902, and was removed to Hospital on
January 30th, 1902. James C. was a barman engaged at the York
Hotel, and probably caught his disease whilst at work. The 2 inmates
of 2, Ann Street (both adults and vaccinated), were re-vaccinated
at once, as also 8 of the 12 adult persons engaged in the York Hotel
(all vaccinated). No case occurred from this centre.
(49) Mary Ann S., of 55, Commercial Road, aged 20 years, vaccinated,
sickened January 2'7th, 1902, and was removed to Hospital on
January 30th, 1902. The disease was probably contracted in the
course of work (dust sifting in the City). The husband (re-vaccinated)
and the child (unvaccinated but vaccinated at once) escaped.
(50) Louisa P., of 11, Waxwell Terrace, aged 27 years, vaccinated,
sickened January 27th, 1902, and was removed to Hospital on January
30th, 1902. The source of infection was probably an unrecognised
modified case of Smallpox (treated as Chickenpox) at Hertford. Of the
4 inmates (1 adult and 3 children under 12 years of age), all vaccinated,
3 were re-vaccinated at once (it not being considered necessary to revaccinate
the infant of 10 months of age). No case arose from this
centre.
(51 and 52) Mary M., of 23, Fitzalan Street, aged 27 years, vaccinated,
sickened January 26th, 1902, and was removed to Hospital on
January 30th, 1902. The source of the disease was Southwark
Borough, where Mary M. had visited a Smallpox patient. From the
