Sickness and
Mortality
amongst the
Parish Poor.
Table XV. sets out the character and forms of
sickness under the care of the District Medical
Officers of the parish poor during 1897.
The proportion of deaths to cases is under two per cent.
The more serious cases are sent into the Infirmary generally,
which will to a certain extent account for so small a death rate.
