the sickness.
In the Hanover and Mayfair Sub-Districts, the number
of patients attended gratuitously, at their own homes, by the
Medical Officers of the Parish, and of the Dispensary
Mount-street, and in the Sick Wards of the Workhouse
Mount-street, was 1,095.
Amongst them were 6 cases of small-pox, one of chickenpox,
100 of measles, 5 of scarlatina, 11 of whooping-cough,
43 of diarrhoea, 16 of continued fever, 2 of erysipelas, 162
of bronchitis and catarrh, 3 of diphtheria, and one of pleurisy.
The six cases of small-pox, formed, as it were, a petty
epidemic in one street. They were those of—
April 8. Kate L., aged 6; 7, Thomas-street, vaccinated.
Mary Anne H., 4, ib. ditto
April 15. Mary S., 35, ib. ditto
James W., 11 months, ib. ditto
May 6. James P., aged 24, ib., vaccinated when an infant,
and again five years ago.
April 15. Thomas H., 2 ; 39, Thomas-street, not vaccinated,
sent to the Small-pox Hospital.
Besides these six cases, three children—
April 20. Katharine W, 7 ; 4, Thomas-street.
Ann, 8, ib.
Henry, 1, ib., all vaccinated,
had the small-pox and measles together; but so slightly as
not to require a medical attendant.
April 29. A girl named Ann H., sent to the Smallpox
Hospital, from 63, Grosvenor-street.
June 5. A man sent from St. George's Hospital to Mountstreet,
and sent on to the Small-pox Hospital.
These, with the fatal case in Stratton-street, on the 28th
May, mentioned before, bring up the number of cases of
small-pox that have come to our notice in the Hanover and
Mayfair Sub-Districts, since December 1852, to 168.
