and 3 children (2 vaccinated and 1 unvaccinated), and of these 5 inmates,
3 a???terwards sickened, thus:—

(35-36) An unrecognised case was notified after convalescence at 44, Newburn

arose from this centre. The source of Florence G.'s infection was an
unrecognised case (Fred. J. B., who had "spots" on July 27th, 1903, at a
house in Westminster, having caught them from the child of a fellow-servant,
which child had, it was stated, contracted Smallpox from Arthur W. of
