To enable the variations in diphtheria prevalence in the several sanitary districts to be more
clearly appreciated, the following table has been prepared. This table shows the comparative case-rates
of each district in each of the years 1891-1914 inclusive, i.e., the case-rates of each district are shown
in relation to the London case-rate of the same year, the London rate being taken as 100. The figures
for the years 1901-9 differ from those given in previous reports owing to the revision of the population
estimates on the basis of the results of the 1911 census.

Table: It will be seen from diagram (M) facing page 16 that the percentage of cases of diphtheria admitted to the hospitals of the Metropolitan Asylums Board exceeded that of previous years.
