TUBERCULOSIS.
The group of diseases, known as Tuberculosis, together caused 425
deaths which were 129 below the average of the last decennium, and were
also 42 below the number registered in 1919. The death rate resulting from
them was equal to 1.26 per 1,000 of the civil population, and represented 9.5
per cent. of the deaths from all causes during the year.
Pulmonary Phthisis.—This is the principal disease of the tubercular
group, and it caused 349 deaths, as contrasted with the decennial average
of 443, while the death-rate was 1.04 per 1,000 of the civil population, as
against the decennial rate of 1.40 per 1,000. There was a decrease of 94 on
the number of deaths and of 0.36 on the mean death-rate. The mortality
from Phthisis was the lowest hitherto recorded in the Borough and the deathrate
correspondingly creates a record.
