The above table shows that the greatest number of cases
occurred in the month of February, and that as in the previous
year, there was no case registered in the month of October. It
is interesting to observe that the epidemic is always worse during
the first six: months of the year. This fact is probably due
to some unknown epidemic influence that exists during the first half
of the year, though it is difficult to explain what that influence is.
The following table shows the number of cases of smallpox
reported in each parish of the Fulham district during last year,
the places in which the cases occurred, the number of cases in
each street, the dates when the cases were reported where the
patients were treated, and the number of houses in which eases
occurred in each street:—
