I was extremely pleased with the zeal, tact and promptitude
with which each outbreak was dealt with bv the Sanitary Staff,
and to this I chiefly attribute the gratifying fact that such outbreaks
were limited to the initial cases.
On March nth, together with the Chairman of the Sanitary
Committee, Clerk, and Sanitary Inspector, I met Dr. E. Petronell
Manby, Medical Inspector of the Local Government Board, in
conference at the Council Offices, in respect to the steps being
taken by the Council in the event of a serious outbreak of small
pox.
After discussing the matter from various standpoints, and
showing the preparations made, he, in company with the Sanitary
Inspector, visited the Isolation Hospital, the iron hospital, and disinfecting
station, and was favourably impressed by the steps taken.
On the next page are given particulars with respect to each case.
The vaccination history and remarks as to attack are taken from
the report on small pox by E. C. Seaton, M.D., Medical Officer of
Health for the Surrey County Council, from a return prepared by
the Resident Medical Officer of the Small Pox Hospital at Cheam.
