Tuberculosis. 43
Deaths.—The total number of deaths certified as due to
diseases of a Tuberculous nature was 307—of whom 164 were
males, and 143 females. Of the 307 deaths, 288 were due to
Pulmonary Tuberculosis, 17 to Tuberculous Meningitis, one to
Abdominal Tuberculosis and one to other forms of Tuberculosis.
Table XXIII. gives details regarding the type of the disease,
sex, and age grouping of these 307 deaths.
In addition to these deaths, which were duly certified in
the returns as due to Tuberculosis, 12 persons previously
notified as suffering from Tuberculosis died during the year.
These deaths, however, do not figure in Table XXIII. for the
reason that:—
(a.) Eight were certified as dying of diseases other
than Tuberculosis.
(b.) Four 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.
