I have extracted for your information from the Weekly Returns of the
Registrar-General cases of Small-pox, Scarlet Fever, Diphtheria, and
Typhoid Fever occuring during the year, and I have further from the
Metropolitan Asylums' Board Weekly Returns constructed a Table
shewing the classification of Small-pox cases which were admitted into
the Hospital Ships during the year. To those interested in the important
question of Yaccination these particulars should be interesting and
instructive.
