Return of Sickness and Mortality.
At the end of this Report the following tables will be found :
No 1., giving the population, births, and cases of infectious
disease which have come to my knowledge during the year 1894.
No. II., the deaths which have been registered in the Parish,
including also the deaths of parishioners in hospitals and other
institutions outside the sanitary district, classified according to
diseases, ages and localities. These tables are prepared in
accordance with the requirements of the Local Government
Board, in order to insure greater uniformity in the reports of
Medical Officers of Health than has hitherto existed.
Table No. III. is of a more comprehensive character, and
shows the deaths registered from all causes, inclusive of the
deaths of parishioners at hospitals and public institutions outside
the district, but exclusive of the deaths of non-parishioners at
public institutions within the Parish.
