Enteric (Typhoid) Fever : no less than 23 deaths were
registered, or nearly twice the corrected average for the
previous 10 years. But of these 23 deaths, 16 were those
of 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
only 8 deaths of Parishioners from this disease.
Simple continued Fever : two deaths, both of Parishioners,
were registered from this disease.
Diarrhoea : only 14 deaths were registered, being 20 less
than in 1893, and 22 less than the average of the previous
10 years. Of these deaths, moreover, 5 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, so that only 10 Parishioners died of this
disease during 1894. I may note that the mean temperature
of each quarter of the year was above the average,
except that of the Summer quarter which was 1.2 degrees
below the average of the last 123 years, and 1.6 below that
of the last 53 years. The mean temperature of the year
was 49'9 degrees, or 1.3 degrees above the average of 123
years, and 0.7 above the average of the previous 53 years.
No death from English Cholera was registered.
Influenza : 15 deaths of Parishioners were recorded from
this disease (as against 13 in 1893, 75 in 1892, and 46 in
1891). One Non-Parishioner also died from it in the Parish.
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.
