Six deaths took place in outlying institutions.
Fifteen cases of infectious diseases were notified,
they were of scarlet fever 10, diphtheria 2, and
erysipelas 3.
In the week that ended on the 25th day of May,
56 births and 7 deaths were registered, the corresponding
annual birth rate being 34.4, and the death rate
4.3.
The number of deaths under 1 year of age was 4.
In the class of zymotic diseases there were 2 deaths
from whooping cough There was 1 death from
bronchitis, 1 from phthisis, 1 from tabes, and 1 from
premature birth.
Sixteen cases of infectious diseases were notified,
viz.: 8 of scarlet fever, 4 of diphtheria, and 4 of
erysipelas.
The small number of 7 deaths in the parish in a
week is without precedent for very many years, but.
I have again to point out that general conclusions
should not be drawn from the statistics of limited
periods, or from exceptional circumstances.
