TYPHUS FEVER.
No death was recorded during the year, which was the eighth in succession
in which there has been none. In the last twenty-three years only 12 deaths
altogether have been registered, and these were distributed among eight years,
thus leaving Islington for fifteen years absolutely free from the disease. Vide
Table XXX. for a statement of the mortality since 1885.

DIARRHœL DISEASES.
In twenty-two years there have been only two years in which the number
of deaths directly ascribed to diarrhoea were so few as in 1907, when they
numbered only 103, or Less than half the number registered in 1906, and exactly
half that of 1905. it is also GO below the corrected average of the ten years
