DEATHS FROM THE NINE PRINCIPAL ZYMOTIC
DISEASES.
The total number of deaths of Residents that
were registered from the nine principal zymotic
diseases was 271 against 210 in the previous year.
The deaths of Residents last year from these diseases
were equal to 153 per 1,000 of the total deaths of
Residents registered, and were at the rate of 2.2
deaths per 1,000 persons living. The deaths from the
nine principal zymotic diseases in the whole of
London were equal to 127 per 1,000 of the total
deaths registered, and were at the rate of 1.9 deaths
per 1,000 persons living. These deaths were, therefore,
as compared with the total deaths of Residents
registered, 26 greater per 1,000 deaths registered in
this Borough than in London, and as compared with
the population o-3 per 1,000 greater in this Borough
than in London. The large number of deaths from
diarrhoea, 144 last year against only 89 in the
previous year, was the cause of the deaths from
zymotic diseases being in excess of the average for
London.
