ALARMING SPREAD OF SMALL-POX IN ENGLAND. OUTBREAK AT CARDIFF. vn r noay It was deemed necemary by Dr. Paine, medical officer of health for the borough of Cardiff, to take special measures in reference to two cases of small. pox which were reported to have occurred in Roath. A middle-aged woman, named Anne Thomas, was recently visited, at Ko. 41, Helen- street, by a seaman who was, it seems, suffering from smoll-pox. Tha woman caught tlio infection, and communicated it to a young girl of twelve yuors, named L. Short, who also resided in the house. Dr. Paino learnt of the two cases in the course of his professional duties, and on Friday Sanitary Inspector Lcyshon, acting under his orders, removed Thomas, who had just gone to fresh lodgings at 31, Diamond-street, to tho fever sheds, near the Hamadryad Hospital. The girl remains at the residence of her parents, but the bouse is put under ttthet sanitary regulations, only certain persons being allowed to approach it and the inmates not being allowed to leave. The most serious aspect of the matter is that theeesman referred to, who is not known, is still about. A fearful outbreak of small-pox has occurred at Hull. An Italian ieam seller, his wife, and family were attacked with tliediseaw. The adults followed their ordinary callings, the woman going from door to door selling ornament3, &nd the children going to a Cstholic school; the result Is that more than 30 cases of small-pox are traceable to this family. Other cases are hourly being dis- covered. In consequence of the continued increase of the epidemic in London the authorities, with the ap- proval of the Local Government Board, have pur- chued, at a cost of about t3.000, the river steamer Albert Victor to use as an auxiliary to the hospital ships now stationed in the River Thames.
