6 Diseases of the Reproductive System, Integumentary
System, Locomotive System, Lymphatics,
Organs of Special Senses, etc., caused together
73 deaths.
Class VII.— Deaths from Violence.
201 deaths in all, including 164 from Accidents, 21
from Burns and Scalds, 14 from Drowning, 36 from
Suffocation in bed (32 being infants under 1 year), 33
from Suicide, and 4 from Homicide.
Class VIII.— Other Causes.
212 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
and groups of diseases are given in terms of the total
deaths (corrected and uncorrected) in Tables T and U;
whilst Table T 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 both infantile
and other diseases, Lambeth again compares favourably
with London (vide Table U).
Deaths amongst infants under 1 year are a sensitive
index (amongst others) of the sanitary state of a Community,
and in this respect the Lambeth Borough statistics,
as a whole, are satisfactory, Table F is important, too, in
this connection, as comparing the Lambeth Borough
statistics with those for London as a whole, taken in
different age-periods.
