Taking these diseases separately, according to the order
in which they are placed in Table IX., we find that :—
Small-Pox caused no death in the Parish, but 1 death of
a Parishioner in a Public Institution outside of the
Parish. (Table A.)
Measles caused 29 deaths of Parishioners, or 2 over the
annual average.
Scarlet Fever caused only 1 death in the Parish, but 9
deaths of Parishioners occurred from the disease in Public
Institutions outside of the Parish.
Diphtheria : 24? deaths were registered in the Parish from
this disease, but 11 of these were those of Non.Parishioners.
On the other hand, there were 5 deaths of Parishioners
from Diphtheria in Public Institutions outside the Parish,
so that 18 Parishioners died of Diptheria as against 26
in 1893. (There was also 1 death of a Parishioner from
Membraneous Croup.)
This disease is still exceedingly prevalent in London and in
some of the other great towns, the average death-rate from
it in the 33 largest English towns in 1894 being 65 per
cent, above the average of the preceding 10 years.
Whooping Cough: 20 deaths were registered, all of
Parishioners: the annual average of the previous 4 years
having been 25.
O
Typhus Fever was not, so far as I am aware, present in
the Parish during the year, and only one death from it has
been recorded in the Parish since 1881.
