highest and Broomwood the lowest zymotic death-rates ;
Church shows the highest and Bolingbroke the lowest zymotic
incidences respectively.
In the subjoined table are shown the deaths from the chief
zymotic diseases for the ten years 1897-1906, and the year
1907 respectively. It will be seen that the number of deaths,
255, is the smallest number ever previously recorded in the
Borough, being no less than 159 fewer than the average for
the decennium. This is accounted for largely by the great
decrease in the number of deaths from diarrhoea in 1907.
In
only one instance, viz., puerperal fever, will the figures be
found to be higher than the decennial average.

The next table gives the death-rate from each of the chief
zymotic diseases compared with the mean death-rate for the
ten years 1897-1906, the gain or loss in each case being also
shown.
