DEATHS FROM EPIDEMIC DISEASES.
To the seven principal epidemic diseases, 206 deaths were
ascribed, representing a death-rate of 1.30 per 1,000, which is
1.1 below the mean rate of the decennium 1900-1909, and the
lowest yet recorded in Fulham.
The corresponding rate of the County of London was 1.1
per 1,000, and in the several metropolitan boroughs the rates
ranged from 0.60 in Hampstead to 2.1 in Southwark.
In Table XII. will be found the number of deaths from
each of the principal epidemic diseases in 1910 and the ten
preceding years, and in Table XIII. the death-rates from
them per 1,000 of the estimated population of each ward in
