Regarding the appearance of small-pox in Brunswick, the Thuringian States, and Anhalt, only a small amount of information is available. In the city of Brunswick a German soldier, who had come from Carignan, contracted the disease in September, and in November and January six Frenchmen were taken sick; two of the latter died. In the garrison, which averaged 1,389 men, there were four cases of small-pox in March and June. According to a manuscript report of the Brunswick Bureau of Statistics, the number of deaths due to small-pox throughout the entire Duchy was 2 in the year 1870, 269 in the year 1871, and 215 in the year 1872. At Gotha a French prisoner suffering from small-pox was left behind in January, and another prisoner in the same transport contracted the disease a few days later; in February there were a few isolated cases in the garrison. At Weimar a German field-soldier suffering from small-pox arrived in February; he infected the woman who took care of him, and presently the disease broke out in the city. In Altenburg two infected sub-officers of the field-army and two Frenchmen, likewise suffering from the disease, were committed to the reserve-lazaret, and shortly afterwards a small epidemic broke out in the garrison. There were ten cases of the disease and no deaths among the Frenchmen, and in the garrison, which averaged 1,178 men, there were eleven cases and one death. Among the civil inhabitants the first to be attacked were a sick-attendant and a journeyman mason; the latter had removed the soot from a stove in a room occupied by small-pox patients. In the Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen, according to a manuscript report of the local Bureau of Statistics, the number of deaths due to small-pox in the years 1860–71 was 133, in the year 1872 it was 37, and in the year 1873 it was 47. The figures for the several years before 1871 are not available. Every transport of sick soldiers from France brought small-pox patients to the city of Meiningen; five cases, the first in January, were reported in the garrison, which consisted of 1,663 men, and in the same month there were cases among the civil inhabitants. It was impossible, however, to establish a connexion between those in the garrison and those in the city. In Dessau, one French prisoner in October and two in November contracted the disease, which in January appeared throughout the city and became epidemic. In the garrison, which consisted of 1,228 men, there were ten cases of the disease, none of which terminated fatally.
