Among the prisoners there were 150 cases of the disease, and of these nine were fatal; in the garrison there were 413 cases and twenty-one deaths. The epidemic of small-pox in Chemnitz, at least the beginning of it, was in no way connected with the war.

The epidemic of small-pox began in January 1870, and reached its climax in December of that year. From March 1871 to September 1872, only a few cases of the disease were observed, but after September the number of cases suddenly began to grow larger, resulting in a second severe epidemic, which continued to increase in severity until March 1873. The mortality statistics found in Flinzer’s report are reproduced below; they go only as far as April 1873, but after that the epidemic abated considerably:
