The weekly deaths were 1, 0, 1, 9, 2. In respect of one of the deaths
at 2, Smith's Terrace, where a whole family of children had been left
unvaccinated, Dr. Lankester held an inquest. Since the instances are
but few in which the parochial authorities in this Metropolis have thought
proper to enforce the penal clauses of the Vaccination Act, this is a
step which, in the present condition of affairs, I think, might almost have
been anticipated. My own impression is that a few enquiries of this
kind would exercise a beneficial influence upon the public.
The weekly cases enumerated in Table II. were 3, 4, 1, 3, 6.
There were 36 deaths from scarlet fever, a reduction of one-fifth upon
the weekly average in August. By far the largest number of these
occurred about the neighbourhood of the Caledonian Road and the
Lower Road. The weekly numbers of the cases enumerated in Table II.
were 19, 15, 11, 30, 15. There were also 9 deaths from diptheria.
The deaths from hooping cough have risen from 10 to 19.
There was an unusual number of deaths, too, of consumptive persons.
