You will perceive an increase of mortality from that frightful
disease Small Pox, due, without doubt, to the imperfect compliance of the
population with the requirements of the Compulsory Vaccination Act.
Yon will at the same time observe a decrease in the number of deaths
from Diarrhoea. With the exception of Whooping Cough, the death-rate
from other Zymotic diseases has not varied much from that of former
years.
I append, as usual, the Report of the Sanitary Inspectors,—Mr.
Langman, for the North District; Mr. Wood, for the Central; and Mr.
Lovell, for the South. These Inspectors date from March 25th, 1867, to
March 25th, 1868; whereas the Mortality Returns are compiled from
January to December, in the same way as the Returns published by the
Registrar-General.
