There were 347 cases of bronchitis, 9 of pleurisy,
and 27 of pneumonia.
THE SMALL-POX.
If we continue the history of this disease in the Hanover
and Mayfair Sub-districts, we may observe, that whereas
there were two cases in December 1862, 18 during the first
quarter of 1863, and 45 during the second quarter, there
were 46 during the third.
Out of these 46 cases, 22 were received into the wards
at Mount-street; 6 were sent to the Small-pox Hospital, 6
were treated at home, and the remaining 12 were persons
who employed their own medical attendant, and were only
heard of casually. Very likely there were some others, for,
as we observed in the foregoing Report, it is to the interest of
most people to keep such a malady secret. It is our duty
occasionally to enquire into the existence of contagious
diseases at hotels and lodging houses, and the establishments of
milliners, &c; and as we always meet with the greatest frankness
in giving information, and find our suggestions most
gladly followed out, we refrain from any publicity, unless
there is some reason for it.
