*Including 26145 and 355 Smallpox articles disinfected and destroyed respectively in 1902.
†The Notification Clauses of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, came into force on January 1st, 1892, and previous
to 1896 practically no attention was paid to disinfection in connection with the non-notifiable infectious diseases.
§This number is increased for 1906, 1907, 1908, 1909 and 1910, on account of bedding no longer being removed to the
Disinfection Station as a routine in connection with Measles, Whooping Cough and Chicken-pox.
N.B.—The Statistics for 1901-10 refer to Borough Council; those for all previous years to the late Vestry.
