Title A name given to the resource The "India" Small Pox Scare Subject The topic of the resource smallpox, small pox, disease, quarantine, ship, S.S. India, Albany, doctor, medieval regulations, medieval medical practices Description An account of the resource In this letter to the editor of the West Australian Sunday Times in March 1900, the correspondent “B. Knighted” complains about quarantine practices that required doctors who boarded ships docked at Albany to quarantine patients suffering from smallpox and other exposed passengers, but then allowed the doctor himself to disembark and resume treating members of the community. The strict quarantine mandate for anyone on board the ship when the doctor was satisfied that disinfecting his hands could prevent the spread of the disease was, the correspondent claims, an undesirable remnant of an ‘obsolete and medieval practice’.
