From all Tubercular diseases the rate per 1,000 was lower in
all the sub-districts with the exception of Wandsworth, the
increase in this area being chiefly due to the increased number of
deaths from Tubercular disease of the Lungs.
With regard to Tubercular disease of the Lungs, the rate for
Clapham, Putney, Streatham, and Tooting were under, and that
for Wandsworth above last year's rate.

1906, and it is also lower than the rate in the three previous years.
