From all Tubercular diseases the rate per 1,000 in 1906 was
lower than in 1905 in all sub-districts with the exception of Clapham,
where there was a slight increase due chiefly to the increase
in the number of deaths from other Tubercular diseases.
With regard to Tubercular disease of the Lungs, the rates
for Putney, Tooting and Wandsworth were under, and for Clapham
above last year, while in Streatham this rate was the same.
The rate for other Tubercular diseases is .02 higher than in
1905, but lower than in 1904 or 1903. This rate was lowest in
Streatham and highest in Tooting, and the rate for Tubercular
disease of the Lungs was lowest in Streatham and highest in
Wandsworth.
The following Table shows the death-rate per 100,000 from
Tubercular diseases of the Lungs for the whole Borough, and for
the separate sub-districts for the year, as well as for the preceding
10 years.
