tuberculous diseases.
The nett rates for the Borough and its Wards are given in Table 18. Reductions in the
rates from phthisis for last year, exceeding one-half, were observed in Queen's Park, Church,
and Lancaster Gate, East, Wards. There was a considerable increase in the rate recorded in
Harrow Road (1.18; mean 0.91), the remaining rates being very nearly equal to the
respective mean rates. The corrected rates for the three first named Wards (Table 19)
compare very strikingly with the standard and mean (corrected) rates. It is not possible at
this stage to offer any explanation for the changes here recorded. Some suspicion rests on
the value of the rates themselves, but judgment must be suspended until the forthcoming
census results are available. From the other tuberculous diseases increased mortality rates
were recorded in Harrow Road and Hyde Park Wards.
