REPORT
on
THE SANITARY CONDITION
of
The Parish Of Saint George, Hanober Square,
for the year ended march 29th, 1873,
by
W. H. CORFIELD, M.A., M.D. (Oxon),
medical officer of health.
To The Vestry of St. George Hanober Square.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
Owing to the fact that, during a considerable part of the
period to which this Report refers, no tables were compiled
nor reports made, there being at the time no Medical Officer
of Health, considerable difficulty has arisen in the preparation
of this Report, which is necessarily somewhat incomplete.
The table for the first quarter, ending June 29th, 1872,
was compiled by your late Medical Officer, Dr. Aldis; for
the second quarter, ending September 28th, 1872, I have
prepared a summary which is sufficient to show the matters
of most importance; the other two tables, for the quarters
ending December 28th, 1872, and March 29th, 1873, are
complete, and were compiled, except as regards the month
of October 1872, from the tables presented to you
