Report of Medical Officer of Health.] 43
In a former Report * a comparison, was made between the epidemic and non-epidemic years since
1868. Having regard to the special age incidence of the disease, the rates have for this Report
been determined for persons aged 0-15 years from 1870† to last year (see Table 21). The period
comprises 18 non-epidemic and 12 epidemic years. The mean death-rates for the three decennial
periods were 1.523, 1.533, and 1.488 respectively, but while the mean rates for the non-epidemic
years have decreased in each decennium from 1.05 in the first to 1.02 in the second and 0.38 in
the third, those for the epidemic years decreased from 2.96 in the first to 2.29 in the second, but
increased to 2.59 in the third. It is noteworthy, too, that in each successive period there was one
more epidemic year than in the period immediately preceding it. The differentiation into epidemic
