Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
It is not possible at present to give these rates for the
separate sub-districts, as, so far, the populations at each age
period have only been published for the whole Borough.
The cause of the high mortality in Tooting under one year
was the large number of deaths from diarrhoea, premature birth,
and developmental diseases, no fewer than 62 out of a total of
115 being due to the above-mentioned causes.
Zymotic Diseases.
The next Table shows the number of deaths from these
diseases that occurred during the year. This Table is corrected
for institutions, as a large number of deaths registered in the
Borough occurred in the Fountain and Grove Fever Hospitals,
and belong to other Metropolitan Boroughs. The number aboveor
below the corrected decennial average is also shown.
