Diarrhœa.
The deaths from Diarrhoea amounted to 61, against 47 in 1892,
and 36 in 1891.
53 of the deaths occurred in the months of July, August, and
September, the time of greatest heat; it will be seen by Mr. Worth's
tables that the temperature during those months was considerably
above the average for the previous 5 years.
The deaths included:—
37 of children under 6 months.
14 of children from 6 to 12 months,
3 of children from 1 to 3 years.
1 child at 6 years.
2 persons aged 52 and 55.
2 persons aged 62 and 63.
