DISEASES OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
The chief diseases included under this heading are Acute Bronchitis,
Chronic Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Broncho-Pneumonia, Pleurisy and Asthma,
which collectively caused 1,049 deaths, and formed 21.3 per cent. of the total
deaths from all causes registered during the year. Thus it is seen that diseases of
the respiratory system form one of the most important groups which come under
the purview of the Medical Officer of Health, especially as they are a very considerable
item in the mortality among infants, among whom, in the year under
consideration, they were the certified primary cause of 166 deaths, while in very
many cases they were ascribed as secondary causes. Altogether 192 deaths from
the respiratory diseases occurred in the public institutions within the Borough.
