The number of cases of Typhoid Fever in Hornsey has declined
almost continuously for several years.
Isolation Hospital.—As compared with the previous year
there were 90 fewer patients admitted in 1911, viz.:—475 in
1911 and 565 in 1910.
The following table shows that the diminution in the number
of patients treated is due entirely to the smaller number of admissions
from Wood Green.
The admission of Hornsey patients was almost the same as in
the preceding year, viz.:—218 in 1911, and 219 in 1910. While
from Finchley 26 more cases were admitted in 1911 than in the
preceding year, viz.:—139 cases in 1911, as against 113 in 1910.
The Wood Green patients, however, were 113 fewer in 1911 than
in 1910, the figures being 118 cases in 1911, and 231 in 1910.
The following table gives particulars of the number of admissions, deaths, and discharges, during the past 7 years:—
