PUERPERAL FEVER.
Puerperal Fever, to which 30 cases were ascribed, was slightly more
prevalent among parturient women than in the preceding year, when
24 cases were notified.
There were 3.02 cases per 1,000 women who were confined compared
with 2.22 in 1895. It was not, however, nearly so fatal as in that year,
for whereas 50.0 per cent. of the women then died, only 36.6 died in
1896.
There was no fatal result in Highbury.
