With refpeét to the aeute difeafes in the prefent month, I have only to obferve, that 
malignant fevers have been fucceeded by an extenfive diffufion of the meaites, fearlatma, — 
chicken-pox, and other contagious complaints, the progrefs of which has been favoured 
by an unufually warm and humid ftate of the air. The meafles have prevailed moftly 
inWeftminfter, the fcarlet-fever in the city, and Borough of Southwark. _ ikoies 
The proportion of fmall-pox has been throughout the year remarkably fmall; and -. 
the fatality of the difeafe will appear trifling when compared with that of the preceding 
ear. ‘The real difference may be feen in the general bills of mortality inferted below, » 
In the Small-pox Hofpital, only feven perfons have died of the natural fmail-pox out of 
the whole number admitted fince Chriftmas, 1796. At the Hofpital-for Inoculae 
zion, the practice has been very fuccefsful. _ Five hundred and fourteem perfons were 
imoculated, and went through the difeafe, in the hofpital: 786 were inoculated, not 
being admitted into ,the houfe, but left, with pfoper directions, to the care of their 
parents or relatives. Of the whole number (1300): only two died in the courfe of 
the year.
