520			_a"A Special Mortality among Infants at Loughton, in the Epping Rural Sanitary District" by W. H. Power is a scientific report written in the late 19th century, specifically in 1878. This publication discusses a troubling outbreak of skin disease among infants in Loughton, focusing on a correlation with the use of a particular violet powder believed to be contaminated with arsenic. The report offers detailed observations and analyses of cases, aiming to understand the origin and nature of the disease affecting these children. The inquiry reveals that since March 1877, 29 infants in Loughton had been afflicted with a severe skin disease that resulted in 13 fatalities. Power diligently investigates potential causes, linking the disease to a specific violet powder sold in local shops. His findings detail the symptoms exhibited by the afflicted children, such as a distinctive blackening of the skin and the formation of blisters. The report evaluates the relationships between the use of the violet powder and the occurrence of the disease, presenting evidence that implicates the contaminated powder as the likely source of the health crisis. In conclusion, Power seeks to establish a scientific basis for understanding the outbreak and emphasizes the importance of proper safety regulations regarding consumer products.
