DEATHS FROM THE NINE PRINCIPAL ZYMOTIC
DISEASES.
The total number of deaths of Residents that were
registered from the nine principal zymotic diseases was
210 against 298 in the previous year. The deaths of
Residents last year from these diseases were equal to
128 per 1,000 of the total deaths of Residents registered,
and were at the rate of i'8 deaths per 1,000 persons
living. The deaths from the nine principal zymotic
diseases in the whole of London were equal to 112 per
1,000 of the total deaths registered, and were at the rate
of 1.7 deaths per 1,000 persons living. These deaths
were, therefore, as compared with the total deaths of
Residents registered, 16 greater per 1,000 deaths
registered in this Borough than in London, and as
compared with the population 0.1 per 1,000 greater in
this Borough than in London. The large number of
deaths from whooping cough, 54 last year against only
32 in the previous year, was the cause of the deaths from
these zymotic diseases being in excess of the average for
London.
