information now obtained is most valuable for discovering the
foci whence zymotic disease originates, and enabling the
Sanitary Officers to apply cleansing and disinfectants or to
abate nuisancas wherever and whenever necessary. It should
be stated that most of the patients who suffered from zymotic
disease at St. George's Hospital were non-parishioners; and
that those among the poor who are attended by the Medical
Officers of the Dispensaries, and by the Parochial Surgeons,
more strictly belonged to our parish. My best thanks are
due to Drs. W. Griffith, Webb, Mr. C. P. Ward, and Mr.
E. Jay, for filling up some of the Returns.
In the Hanover and Mayfair Sub-Districts, the total
number of cases treated by the Parochial Medical Officers,
and at the Dispensary, Mount-street, and in the Sick Wards
of the Mount-street Workhouse, has been 37,073. Amongst
them were 9 cases of small-pox, 5 of chicken-pox, *27 of
measles, 54 of scarlet fever, 43 of whooping-cough, 101 of
diarrhoea, 2 of erysipelas, 25 of fever, 2 of diphtheria, 1 of
dysentery, 1 of ague, 487 of bronchitis, and 3 of pneumonia.
