Fire of the deaths from fever were attributed to typhus; one of these
fatal cases was that of a nurse in the Fever Hospital, and another was
the mother of the family in Crescent Avenue whose illness I mentioned
last month.
Of the 50 cases of measles amongst the out-patient paupers recorded
in Table 2, all but six occurred in the White Conduit district.
