† The seven principal zymotic Diseases on the deaths from which the zymotic death-rate is based.
Infectious Diseases Notification and Prevention Acts have been in force since March 1st, 1891.
Before 1906, although their notifications were included, deaths in the Strand Union and amongst the non-residents in the Edmonton Union were
excluded from this table. Neither the notifications nor deaths of non-residents are included in this Table.
Deaths of Residents occurring outside the District are included. Our Isolation Hospitals are all outside the District.
* Compulsory Notification of Phthisis began on January 1st, 1909, as far as paupers are concerned, on May 1st, 1911, as far as hospital patients are
concerned, and on January 1st, 1912, for private patients. The populations quoted are nett, or exclusive of "foreigners" or Belgians in institutions.
