The Board, after consultation, ordered the accompanying
notice to be printed and circulated
under the direction of the Medical Officers of
Health, and inquiry to be made of the district
registrars regarding the best mode of carrying
out the 5th recommendation.
NOTICE.—Small Pox.—Parish of St. George,
Hanover Square.—In consequence of the presence of
Small Pox in a severe and fatal form in various parts of
London, the attention of all unvaccinated persons, and of
the parents and guardians of all unvaccinated children, is
earnestly called to the necessity of having Vaccination
performed without delay.
Already, during the present epidemic, above a thousand
inhabitants of London have died from small-pox,
whose lives, in almost every instance, might have been
saved by efficient vaccination. Hitherto the disease has
been almost confined to the more eastern and southern
districts; but, it is now extending to the more western
and northern parts of London, and there have been within
the last few weeks several deaths from it in this parish.
The public is therefore warned, that no time ought to
be lost, before having vaccination performed.
Grown-up persons, who were vaccinated in infancy,
and have not since been re-vaccinated, are earnestly advised
now to have this done, as they will thereby be rendered
more secure.
The public vaccinator of this parish attends regularly
at the undermentioned time and place, to vaccinate, free
of expense, all applicants, viz.:—for the In-Wards of the
parish, Mr. Edward Jay, 51, Park Street, Grosvenor
Square, on Mondays, between the hours of ten and twelve
