Road, Fulham, was used for the reception of Small Pox-cases, for
which purpose it has been appropriated since March, 1877. Altogether
there were 702 admissions from I7 Unions, 637 were acute
cases, and 27 were partially recovered cases of Small Pox, the
latter having" been removed from other hospitals; 38 were not
Small-Pox cases. Of the 637 acute cases, 111 terminated fatally,
equal to a mortality of 17.4 per cent. Of the 170 unvaccinated
cases, 75 were fatal, being at the rate of 48-3 per cent., but of
477 vaccinated cases only 31 were fatal, which equalled 6.5 per
cent. These facts are of the highest importance as it is conclusive
evidence of the immense value of vaccination. Of the I39 cases
admitted into the hospital from this district 16 occurred within
about half a mile radius of the hospital; 103 outside this half mile
radius, but in the parish of Fulham, and 2o from the parish of
Hammersmith, outside a mile radius.
