ENTERIC FEVER.
Thirteen deaths from Enteric or Typhoid Fever were entered, as contrasted
with a corrected average of 37 in the twenty-six years 1885-1910, which is a very
considerable and most gratifying decrease. The deaths are 5 below those
registered in 1910, but are the same in number as those known in 1909. Since
1902 the deaths have fallen steadily, although for that matter there has been
a general decrease since 1885, which is well seen in the following statement,
which shows the deaths arranged in quinquennial periods since that year:—
1886-1890 264
1891-1895 187
1896-1900 219
1901-1905 149
1906-1910 79
Such results are entirely satisfactory, especially as they are accompanied
by a very large decrease in the notification of individual cases, and are strong
evidence of the improvement in the sanitary condition of Islington.
