Small Pox.
It is satisfactory to record that no case of Small-pox was
notified in Battersea in 1907. Three suspected cases were
referred to me by medical practitioners, which, on investigation,
proved not to be Small-pox.
In the County of London no case occurred during the year.
The following table gives the number of Small-pox cases
and deaths in Battersea and in the County of London since
1891.
