    The comparison then of the death-rate of the last year of the century stands as shown in the following statement:—
  • Page 28
    As the significance of death-rates are not generally very well understood, and as the statement that it fell from say 20.0 per 1,000 to 18.0, seems such a small thing in itself it may be of advantage to take the last fifteen years and to translate in figures what the deaths would have been in each year if the population had been in each of these years the same as it was in 1900. These results are given in the following statement:—
    Years.Recorded Deaths.Deaths which would have occurred if the population had been the same as in 1900.

    This Sub-district consists of Highbury Ward, Mildmay Ward and part of Canonbury Ward. From 1891 to the present date its annual death-rates have been remarkably low, as may be seen by the following figures:—

    These figures testify to the large decrease in the number of deaths from this disease during late years. During the last three years the reduction has been most marked, as is plainly seen in the following return for ten years:—

    WHOOPING COUGH. The return was 34 below the average of the preceding ten years, the number of registered deaths being 142 as against an average of 176. These deaths represent a death-rate of 0.40 per 1,000. The preceding records of the disease have been as follows :—

    In the following return Islington occupies a very favourable position, for its infantile mortality rate is less than that of England and Wales, the 33 Great Towns and the 67 other Large Towns. It also bears a favourable comparison with the other places mentioned, especially with the six large towns.
