    Even allowing for the slight fallacy that may arise from comparing statistics of the old Parish with those of the new Borough, this decrease in the mortality from diphtheria is again noteworthy, and, when taken in conjunction with the decrease in the number of notifications of the same disease received, allowing for the slight increase due to the outbreak in Upper Norwood, during 1913, points to a marked general decline in the prevalence of diphtheria during the past years, thus:—
