attacked, who was not notified and worked at a factory out
of the Borough, four cases afterwards occurred in the
factory. The first case in Hewlett Road was supposed to be
due to the patient from Bath, so that these four more cases
will bring the number due to the Bath case to 24 patients
(outside and inside Borough).
19.—30th May.—Male, aged 1 year. Osborn Place,
Union Street, Poplar. Unvaccinated.
A lad, aged 17 years, was stated to have had spots on his
face.
It is very probable that the lad had had an exceedingly
mild attack of Small-pox (he was well vaccinated in infancy).
The remains of the spots on the face gave the appearance
of his having had such a disease. He stated that three
weeks previously, just before the spots appeared, he was ill
and sick. The mother corroborated his statement.
There were two children, 3 and 5 years, who had never
been vaccinated, and had been exposed to infection. The
father was willing to have them vaccinated.
20.—On 6th June, female, aged 42 years. Osborn Place.
Mother of the patient removed on 30th May. Patient had
been well vaccinated in infancy, and, so far as the Small-pox
was concerned, it was an exceedingly mild attack.
21.—Female child, aged 5 years, who was vaccinated for
the first time on 4th June after being many days exposed
to infection, was taken ill and removed from the Shelter on
the 10th June, suffering from Small-pox.
22.—On the 15th June, a female, aged 26 years, of St.
Stephen's Road, Bow, stated to have been vaccinated in
infancy.
