From Table IX. it will be seen that the total number of
deaths from infectious diseases and diarrhoea registered in
the Parish (including deaths of non-parishioners), was 119,
or 29 below the average of the previous 10 years.
If, however, we subtract the deaths of non-parishioners
(38) an,d add those of Parishioners dying of these diseases
in Public Institutions outside of the Parish (17), the total
becomes 98, as shown in Table X., which is equivalent to
a zymotic death-rate of only 1.23, as against 1.36 in 1893,
the rate for London being 2.66, and that for the 33 largest
English towns 2.44. The only large towns showing a
lower zymotic death-rate than this Parish are Halifax,
with 0.87, and Brighton, with 1.21.
The highest zymotic death-rates in the country are furnished
by West Ham, 3.19; Wolverhampton, 3.23; Salford,
3.25 ; and Liverpool, 3.41.
