It will be seen that there was unusually little mortality from measles and
whooping cough, pulmonary tuberculosis, cerebral apoplexy, bronchitis,
pneumonia and pleurisy, and kidney disease; partly set off by the influenza
mortality.
The deaths for the year are fully classified for causes, age, and sex in
Table 2. on page 101.
The depths and death rates for the different wards and registration subdistricts
will be found in Table 4 on page 106, and in Table 5 on page 107 will
be found the death rate for 1919 'of England and Wales, the County of
London, the several Metropolitan Boroughs, and the 30 large towns with
populations exceeding 125,000.
1,648 deaths occurred in Public Institutions in the Borough in 1919.
Taking from these the number which were of non-parishioners (578), and
adding the number of deaths of St. Pancras parishioners in Public Institutions
outside the Borough (486)—both from the Registrar-Genral's figures—the
number of St. Pancras deaths which took place in Public Institutions is
shown to be 1,556, or 53 per cent. of the total deaths.
Infantile Mortality.
336 deaths of St. Pancras infants under one year of age took place during
the year. This is equal to a rate of 88 per thousand births.
In Table 1 on page 100 the corresponding rates for the last ten years will be
found. From this it will be seen that the infantile mortality compares
favourably with previous years.
In Table 4 on page 106 the figures will be found for the different wards and
registration sub-districts, and in Table 5 on page 107 infantile mortality rates in
England and Wales, the County of London, the several Metropolitan Boroughs
and the 30 large towns with populations exceeding 125,000.
The causes of death are shown in the following table, classified also
according to agp at death:—
