DEATHS FROM THE NINE PRINCIPAL ZYMOTIC
DISEASES.
The total number of deaths of Residents that
were registered from the nine principal zymotic
diseases was 171, against 161 in the previous year.
The deaths of Residents last year from these diseases
were equal to 97 per 1,000 of the total deaths of
Residents registered, and were at the rate of 14
deaths per 1,000 persons living. The deaths from the
nine principal zymotic diseases in the whole of
London were equal to 96 per 1,000 of the total
deaths registered, and were at the rate of 1.5 deaths
per 1000 persons living. These deaths were, therefore,
as compared with the total deaths of Residents
registered, 1 greater per 1,000 deaths belonging to this
Borough than in London and as compared with the
population 1 per 1,000 less in this Borough than in
London.
