    PREFACE. The object of the following pages is to set forth in a concise manner the course of action which should be taken with a view to arrest the present epidemic of Small Pox. Reference is made to those provisions of the Sanitary Act, 1866, which were framed especially to prevent, by means of isolation and disinfection^ the spread of infectious diseases, and particulars are given of the penalties under the Act. The Official Memorandum of the Privy Council on measures to be taken against Small Pox, and the letters recently addressed to the Metropolitan Boards of Guardians, Vestries, and District Boards, are printed in extenso.
