The number of people who contracted the disease varied greatly in the different territories, depending upon the locality whence the prisoners came. Accordingly, the figures in the case of the Grand Duchy of Hesse were rendered large by the fact that a severe epidemic of small-pox broke out in the stronghold of Mayence on the occasion of the arrival there of prisoners from Metz. The number of prisoners that contracted and succumbed to small-pox in the larger military prison-dépôts is shown by the following table, which covers only those places in Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Hesse in which the maximum number of prisoners held in confinement exceeded 5,000: _Maximum no. _Patients _Deaths per prisoners._ _Patients._ _Deaths._ per 1,000._ 100 cases._ Spandau 6,856 77 25 11·2 32·5 Jüterbog 5,002 196 23 39·2 11·7 Danzig 9,189 188 24 20·5 12·8 Königsberg 7,324 221 22 30·2 9·9 Stettin 21,000 1,303 194 62·0 14·9 Erfurt 12,400 203 28 16·4 13·8 Magdeburg 25,450 1,902 271 74·7 14·3 Torgau 9,359 603 128 64·4 21·2 Wittenberg 9,753 51 10 5·2 19·6 Posen 10,303 191 29 18·5 15·2 Glogau 13,621 1,198 170 88·0 14·2 Neisse 12,801 385 117 30·1 30·4 Minden 5,071 98 13 19·3 13·3 Wesel 16,299 1,042 127 63·9 12·2 Cologne 13,774 175 24 12·7 13·7 Coblenz 15,011 571 111 38·0 19·4 Lockstedt 5,000 47 7 9·4 14·9 Mayence 14,669 759 165 51·7 21·7 In the case of the Kingdom of Saxony and of the South German States no figures for the individual places are available. We see from the above table that of the large prison-dépôts, Glogau, Magdeburg, Torgau, Wesel, Stettin, and Mayence had the most cases of the disease; generally speaking, the smaller places were less severely attacked, although there are a few exceptions to this statement; in Stralsund, for example, there were 78·2 cases of the disease per 1,000 prisoners, in Papenberg and Hanover 63·4, in Colberg 53·9, and in Münster 52·8. 3. _Small-pox in the Immobile German Army_
