SMALL POX.— No case of Small Pox has occurred in
the District during the year. Two children suffering from
Scarlet Fever were removed from this District to the Homerton
Fever Hospital; about live weeks afterwards, they contracted
Small Pox from a case that was accidentally admitted into the
ward. The children were removed from the Fever Hospital
to the Small Pox Hospital Ship. This district has been entirely
free from Small Pox for the last four years.
