school. When I called to examine the rest of the family on
that and the following day, Adelaide Cohen was out. My
opinion now is, that she was deliberately kept out of sight.
This happened on subsequent days, but on November 13th I
was informed that she was suffering from a rash, and I waited
until she returned home. I examined her and found that she
was suffering from Small Pox. She was at once removed to
the hospital. She had been vaccinated in infancy only.
32, Scarborough Street.—Barnet Finkelstein, aged 26—
Mrs. Cohen's son-in-law—was taken ill on November 3rd and
removed to the hospital on November 9th. He had been vaccinated
in infancy only. Sarah Cohen, aged 21, who had gone

me on the 16th, and the patient was removed on the same day.
The sanitary inspector immediately called, and upon enquiry
found that Louis Green was ill in bed, but he was distinctly
told that there was no one else ill. Later in the afternoon I
