Typhoid Fever in a district is considered as a sanitary
index—the more Typhoid, and the less sanitary the District,
and vice versa. On this assumption Lambeth shews, during
1897, a satisfactory return.
CONTINUED AND TYPHUS FEVERS.*
During 1897, 11 cases were notified in Lambeth, but. no
deaths registered, from Continued Fever, as compared with
65 cases notified and 8 deaths registered (i.e., 12 3% uncorrected
case mortality) in London; whilst there were no
cases of typhus notified, and no deaths from this disease
registered, during the year in Lambeth, though the cases
notified in London were 4, and there was one death registered,
making a case mortality of 333 %.
Typhus and Continued Fever are generally bracketted
with Typhoid under the heading "fever."
* Two deaths were registered in London from Relapsing Fever.
