The death-rate from Zymotic diseases has never been lower
in Hornsey, and has only once been so low, viz., in 1902. Almost
all the diseases are below the average of previous years as causes
of mortality.
Epidemic Diarrhœa has caused only 6 deaths, 5 of these
being of infants under 1 year of age. Last year 24 deaths were
attributed to this cause.
Three of the deaths were in North Haringey, and 1 each in
Crouch End, West llornsey and Stroud Green.
This is equal to a Diarrhoea mortality of 3.82 per 1,000 birth?,
or of 0.071 per 1,000 persons living at all ages.
Diphtheria caused 8 deaths, out of 153 cases notified.
This is one death more than last year.
The case mortality is equal to 5.2 per cent.
Of the 105 cases removed to Hospital, 3 proved fatal, equal
to a case mortality of 2.85 per cent.
Of the 48 cases not removed to Hospital 5 died, equal to a
case mortality of 10.41 per cent.
Enteric Fever caused 2 deaths out of 20 cases notified, equal
to a case mortality of 10 per cent.

84 cases not removed to our Hospital, most of which were treated
at home, a few going to other Hospitals than ours, one died, equal
to a case mortality of 1.19 per cent.
