INFLUENZA.
During the year there were only 10 deaths registered as due to influenza,
4 in St. Giles and Bloomsbury and 6 in the Holborn District.
ALCOHOLISM.
Only 28 deaths were assigned to alcoholism or cirrhosis of liver, 17 in
St. Giles and Bloomsbury, and 11 in the Holborn District. These represent only
a portion of the deaths really caused by alcoholism as they are frequently
registered under the headings of other secondary causes.
