Taking the zymotic diseases collectively, it is noticed
that the 3rd quarter shewed the highest mortality, and the
2nd quarter the lowest. Whooping Cough and Typhoid
reached their maxima in the 1st quarter; Scarlet Fever,
Diarrhoea, and Cholera in the 3rd; Diphtheria and Measles
in the 4th; and Influenza in the 1st.
Table N shews the zymotic seasonal variations in the
different Registration Sub-districts, while Table N gives
the monthly mortalities from the zymotic diseases.
Table O gives the deaths from the seven principal
zymotic diseases during 1897, and for the ten previous
years, not only in Lambeth Parish, but also (for comparison)
in London.
