"The mortality of 'JO cities and towns i* in the aggregate
above the I^ondon standard, and the 3 cities of the highest
mortality are the densest.
"Density of population practically (although not necessarily)
implies density of zymotic impurity in most town®,
and a higher corresponding rate of mortality.
" Precautions are required in proportion to density to
obviate its evils.'"—[.Registrar General. 1
