Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Transactions of the Epidemiological Society of London, Vol. 7
Comparison of the results of exposure in hospital to the infection of typhus on the one hand, and of small-pox on the other, are of especial interest in this connection. In the London Fever Hospital there were, during the ten years 1861-70 - the latest period during which typhus was received into that institution - no less than 179 attacks, and 42 deaths from typhus amongst the nurses and staff of the hospital.
