MORTALITY FROM THE PRINCIPAL EPIDEMIC DISEASES.
Small Pox, Measles, Scarlet Fever, Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, Fevers
(that is to say, Typhus, Enteric and Continued) and Diarrheal Diseases.
Deaths.—Once more it is most satisfactory to the Medical Officer of
Health to have to report that these diseases were all below the average of the
the years 1885-1909, while some of them were so low as to be almost a
negligible quantity.
Altogether 428 deaths were registered, or over 43 per cent, below the
average that obtained from 1885 to 1909.
