Non-Parishioners in St. George's Hospital; on the other
hand, one of our Parishioners died of this disease in a Public
Institution outside of the Parish, so that there were in all 11
deaths of Parishioners from this disease.
Simple continued Fever: two deaths, both of Parishioners,
were registered from this disease.
Diarrhoea: 34 deaths were registered, being 14 more than
in 1892, and nearly equal to the average of the previous 10
years. Of these deaths, however, 7 were those of NonParishioners.
On the other hand, there was 1 death of a
Parishioner from Diarrhoea in a Public Institution outside of
the Parish. I may note that the mean temperature of each
quarter of the year was above the average, that of the Spring
quarter being no less than 4.7 degrees above the average of
the last 122 years. The mean temperature of the year was
51.1 degrees, or 2.5 degrees above the average of 122 years,
and 1.9 above the average of the previous 52 years.
No death from English Cholera was registered.
Influenza: only 13 deaths were registered in the Parish
from this disease (as against 75 in 1892 and 46 in 1891). As
there is no special column for this disease in the table (A),
ordered by the Local Government Board to be used, the
deaths from it are entered under other headings according to
the information given in the certificates.
