MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH

To the Parish of St. George
Hanover square.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
Although 1876 was a very healthy year, it has been
entirely eclipsed by 1877, for during this year the corrected
total of deaths for the Parish, viz., 1,590, was less than in
any one of the nine preceding years, and considerably less
than the average; and although the number of deaths
occurring in Public Institutions (522) was very high, the
gross total of deaths (1729) was low.
