The above table shows that the greatest number of cases occurred
in the month of March and as usual there was a larger proportion
of caees in the first half of the year than in the second.
It is also worthy of note that there were more than double the
number of cases in the parish of Fulham than in the parish of
Hammersmith notwithstanding the fact that the Fulham smallpox
hospital has not received small-pox cases since the commencement
of last year. The proportion of cases in the parish of Fulham
as compared with Hammersmith was however about 6 per
cent greater in the previous year when the hospital was receiving
small-pox cases. It is satisfactory to be able to record that during
the first six months of the present year no case of small pox has
been reported with the exception of two cases at one house which
cases were not absolutely decided to be small-pox by the Medical
Superintendent of the hospital to which they were removed.
TABLE VII.
The following table shows the number of cases of small-pox
reported in each parish of the Fulham district during the year
1882; the date when each case was reported; the localities where
they occurred; the number of cases in each street; and the number
of houses in which cases occurred.
