CHARLTON.
REPORT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH
FOR THE YEAR 18D3.
To the Board of Works for the Plumstead District.
Gentlemen,
1. I beg to present to you my Annual Report of the Sanitary
condition of the Parish of Charlton, for the year ending Decern,
ber 31st, 1893.
2. The Births have numbered 368,—
Males 201
Females 107
Giving a ratio of 29.16 per thousand of the population, estimated
at the middle of 1893 as 12273.
3. Hitherto it has been my practice to estimate the deaths
without adding those parishioners who have died in Public
Institutions, &c., outside the parish, but as I consider it is only
right to account for all, this year I have added these, and have
made my calculations accordingly.
