§ SIR JERVOISE JERVOISEsaid, he wished to ask the Vice President of Council on Education, Whether his attention has been called to the Report of the Commission on Yellow Fever at Bermuda, 1856; Report of Committee on Yellow Fever at Bermuda, 1864; Report of the late epidemic of Scarlet Fever among children at Aldershot, 1866; and, what conclusion is to be drawn from these Reports as to the infectious nature of the diseases referred to?
§ LORD ROBERT MONTAGU, in reply, said, he was sure the House would not expect that he should, within the limits of a reply to the Question of the hon. Baronet, enter into all the intricacies of the medical considerations which it involved. He might briefly state that the Reports referred to had been brought under his notice, and that there was no particular 562 conclusion to be drawn from them as to the infectious nature of the diseases mentioned.
