I cannot conclude without a word of thanks to the several
Parochial Officers, to whom I am indebted for an ever ready and
courteous willingness to assist me by any information in their
power. And I would especially refer to the Poor Law Medical
Officers; to the Clerk to the Guardians (E. Herbert Draper, Esq.);
to the Relieving Officers; the Sub-District Registrars of Births
and Deaths (Messrs. Barnes and Hume); and to Mr. Shattock,
the Vaccination Officer.
I am also greatly indebted to many Members of the Medical
profession, for an obliging promptitude in affording me information
respecting cases of infectious disease occurring in their
practice.
I have the honor to be, Gentlemen,
Your very obedient Servant,
T. ORME DUDFIELD, M.D.,
