In this way 7 cases arose, directly or indirectly, from the nonrecognised
case of George B.—4 in Wandsworth, and 3 in Lambeth,
Borough. It is interesting to note that a vaccinated child of 12
months of age did not contract the disease, though exposed directly
to contagium for a period extending over six weeks.

(99 and 100) George H. M., aged 38 years, vaccinated, and Marie
M. (his wife), aged 38 years, vaccinated, were found to be suffering
from Smallpox at 13, Lingham Street ("The Royal Oak"), and the
source of the contagium in both cases was probably an unrecognised

(vide case 115). George H. M. sickened February 11th, 1902, and
was removed to Hospital on February 15th, 1902; whilst Marie M.
