Excerpt from The Aerial Convection of Small-Pox From HospitalsThroughout this paper I am assuming that the members of the Epidemiological Society are well acquainted with the general lines of the F ulham investigation. I do not therefore propose to recapitulate the evidence nor to point out how, when small-pox was not being rece1ved into the hospital, as in the periods antecedent to March 1877, and from the end of 1881 to May 1884, there was no special incidence of the disease in the one-mile area around the hospital, nor any regularity of distribution in quarter-mile belts within the mile area of such small-pox as did exist, nor how, on the other hand, when the hospital came to be in operation, its surrounding mile area became specially affected, and how at the same time the subdivisions of this area were affected relatively to their propinquity to the hospital, nor how these phenomena have been observed with remarkable regularity in one epidemic after another, nor how the parishes in which small-pox hospitals were completed in 1871, or afterwards, had their small-pox pre valence altered relatively to that of parishes whi'éh contained no such hospitals, so that some parishes which aforetime had been comparatively exempt from the influence of small pox epidemics came under that influence to a very remark able extent, and displaced other parishes which had formerly headed the list, nor how the positions of the parishes containing small-pox hospitals varied according as these hospitals were closed or in active operation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
