SIMPLE CONTINUED FEVER.
Only two deaths were registered from this disease, and these
occurred in Islington South East, and in Islington South West, SubDistricts.
DIARRHŒA.
Diarrhœa caused 237 deaths, and was more fatal than in any year
since 1887, when 291 were recorded. These 237 deaths are 30 above
the mean number registered in the decade 1881-90.
The death-rate was equal to 0·72 per 1,000 of the population.
The disease was most fatal in proportion to population in Islington
South West, where the death-rate was 0·83 per 1,000 (89 deaths). but
this rate was almost equalled in Upper Holloway, where with 79 deaths,
it was 0·82. In Islington South East it was 0·72 (47 deaths), and in
Highbury it was as low as 0·36. with 22 deaths.

compared with those of the Metropolis, or of the great towns the
Diarrhœa mortality was not excessive.
