EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
of
The Medical Officer of Health
for the
GREENWICH DISTRICT.
To the Greenwich District Board of Works.
Gentlemen,
Again, I have the honor of laying before you my
Tabular Statement of the sanitary condition of your District
for the year ending 26th December, 1863.
Having compiled these Tables with great clearness and
accuracy, I feel that the information contained in them will
be best understood by your own careful perusal of the
contents, and that any detailed description of them by me
would be superfluous. I therefore beg most humbly to
leave them to your attentive consideration.
Table No. 1 will show the Births and Deaths for the
past year, the ages at which Deaths took place, and the
various Diseases causing those Deaths.
Table No. 2 will show a comparative statement of the
Births and Deaths for the past seven years, the ages at
which those Deaths occurred, and the causes of those Deaths
during the same periods.
Table No. 3 will show the number of Deaths in each
Division of the District as they occurred during each month
throughout the year.
