5. Diseases of the Urinary System caused 124 deaths.
6. Diseases of the Reproductive System, Integumentary
System, Locomotive System, Lymphatics,
Organs of Special Senses, etc., caused together
89 deaths.
Class VII.—Deaths from Violence.
201 deaths in all, including 25 from Accidents, 15 from
Burns and Scalds, 23 from Drowning, 43 from Suffocation
in bed (all infants under 1 year), and 39 from
Suicide.
Class VIII.—Other Causes.
194 deaths were registered in this class, consisting of
deaths from Dropsy, Tumours, Hæmorrhages, or other
ill-defined or non-specified causes.
Different rates of mortality from different diseases or
groups of diseases (also sub-divided as to Districts)
are given in terms of the total deaths in Tables R and S;
whilst Table R gives also the deaths from the chief Infantile
Diseases, expressed in terms of the infantile population
(or number of births).* Allowing for the slight differences
between corrected and uncorrected death returns, it will be
noted that, in regard to infantile diseases, Lambeth compares
favourably with London—in only one case (i.e.,
Whooping Cough) is the Lambeth rate higher.
