Notifiable Infectious Diseases (excluding Tuberculosis).
Small-pox. During the past year no case of small-pox
occurred in this District.
The number of cases of small-pox notified in England and
Wales during 1926 was 10,205. A number of intimations have
been received from Port Sanitary Authorities of persons who
have been exposed to the infection of small-pox on board ship
and who have given an address in this District as their place of
destination; all such contacts have been visited, advised as the
desirability of being vaccinated if not already protected, and
instructed to report at once if ill.
