(40.) W. R., aged 26, of Selkirk Road, Tooting. Notified on
the 23rd February. Patient was a labourer, employed
in Balham. He was probably infected by A. P., of
Battersea. The latter had a suspicious rash over a
fortnight ago, and W. R. was frequently in his company.
P. was employed at the new Small-pox Hospital, and
infected his child, who was removed to Hospital and

(43.) A. C., aged 9, of Scholars Road, Clapham. Notified on
the 26th February. This girl went with her mother to
St. Thomas's Hospital, on the afternoon of Sunday, the
9th February, and her mother informed me that she
had stood in a crowd outside the door for about two
hours, and I am of opinion that she was infected at
this time, as the first symptoms appeared exactly 12
days after. This child had never been out of Balham
about that date, except on that particular Sunday. She
was unvaccinated.
