14
this is the lowest annual number recorded since 1870, the
nearest to it being 19 in 1877.
The number of deaths from the Continued Fevers, viz.,
24, although less than the decennial average, was higher
than in either 1879 or 1880.
Of the 24 deaths, 3 were recorded as from Typhus,
20 from Enteric (Typhoid) Fever, and 1 from Simple
Continued Fever.
Of the 3 recorded as from Typhus Fever, one was that of
a non-parishioner, who died in St. George's Hospital, and
whose death was certified as from "Fever, probably
Typhus;" one was, I believe, really from Enteric Fever, a
child of the same family having died of that disease only 6
days before; and the third was that of a servant, who had
not been away anywhere for a fortnight before her illness.
Of the 20 deaths from Enteric (Typhoid) Fever, 6 were
those of non-parishioners, in St. George's Hospital; one was
shown to have been imported, one was merely registered
as " Fever," one as "Bilious Fever," and another was a very
doubtful case—I believe not Typhoid at all.
Diarrhoea caused only 33 deaths, a smaller number than
in any year except 1879, when there were 32 deaths from
Diarrhoea; the average annual number is 52.
