Upon review, I think it must be observed that the past year
has not been idly spent; and if even the present rate of
mortality be maintained, in the absence of epidemic disease, I
think we shall have some cause for congratulation in the success
of our attempts at sanitary improvement.
I have the honor to be,
Gentlemen,
Your most obedient servant,
J. H. FREEMAN,
%
Medical Officer of Health.
Town House, Mile End Road.
20th May, 1857.
