(Dietic Diseases) of 0.02; and that for Class IV.
(Constitutional Diseases) of 0 06—the other class
rates being lower. Of the group-rates, increases are
to be noted under Miasmatic (0.27), and Diarrhceal
Diseases (0.12), Diseases of the Circulatory (0.41),
and Digestive Systems (0.11), and Homicide (0.02).
In comparison with individual years the rates
due to Circulatory (1.43) and Digestive Diseases
(1.18) were maximal, those due to Nervous Diseases
(1.29), Diseases of the Lymphatic (0), and the
Integumentary Systems (0) minimal.
A reference to Table 18 will show that the total
death-rate there given for the Parish (16.1) was lower
than any of the other rates mentioned, whilst the
Zymotic Rate (2.41) was lower than all except
that for "Rest of England and Wales" (1.75), and
"67 Large Towns" (2.41). The local death-rates,
as given in that Table, from measles (0*73) and
diphtheria (0.48) were maximal, those from scarlet
fever (0.06), "fever" (0.13), and diarrhoea (0.65),
minimal.
These preliminary observations having been made,
it will be sufficient to consider at length only those
diseases which either differed markedly from their
averages, or presented other special points of interest.
No reference will, therefore be made to many of the
statistics set out in the Tables mentioned above.
