Tuberculosis.

In addition to these deaths, which were duly certified in
the returns as due to Tuberculosis, 31 persons previously
notified as suffering from Tuberculosis died during the year.
These deaths, however, do not figure in Table XXI. for the
reason that:—
(a.) Nineteen were certified as dying from diseases other
than Tuberculosis.
(b.) Twelve had previously moved outside the Borough
and died there, the death being credited to the area in which
it occurred.
The following Table gives figures for the last ten years
showing both the number of deaths and the death-rate per
1,000 from Tuberculosis in the Borough.
Of the 249 deaths from Tuberculosis, 126 were males and
123 females. 216 deaths were due to Pulmonary Tuberculosis
and 33 to other forms of Tuberculosis. Further details are
given in Table XXI.
