The number of deaths from this group of diseases is the
largest yet recorded.
There were 78 deaths from Zymotic Diseases in 1911, as
against 27 in 1910. The year 1907, with 76 deaths from these
diseases, is the next largest total, and after that 1904 with 69
deaths and 1899 with 65.
The Zymotic death-rate is equal to .92 per thousand of the
population, the highest zymotic death-rate since 1897, except for
the year 1906, when the zymotic death-rate (.94) was slightly
greater than in this year. In reoent years our Zymotic deathrate
has been exceedingly low.
The table given below of Zymotic death-rates in other towns
shews that high Zymotic death-rates have been general during the
past year, and that Hornsey still holds a very favourable position.
