inspecting the premises I found certain important sanitary
defects, which have since been remedied under my
directions.
Simple Continued Fever.— Two deaths were registered
from this disease; one of them, however, was that of a nonParishioner
who died in St. George's Hospital, from Puerperal
Fever.
So that there were together only 10 deaths from Continued
Fevers (including those of Parishioners and nonParishioners)
registered in the Parish during the year, as
against an annual average of 25.9, and of these 10 deaths,
only 4, viz., 2 from Enteric, 1 from Simple Continued Fever,
and 1 doubtful case, were those of Parishioners.
Diarrhoea caused 37 deaths, or 7 less than in 1884, and
3 5 less than the annual average for the previous 10 years.
Two deaths from English Cholera or Choleraic Diarrhoea
were also registered.
Small Pox in London.
The annual numbers of deaths from Small Pox in
London since 1880 have been as follows:— 2,371 in 1881,
431 in 1882, 134 in 1883, 913 in 1884 (53 weeks), and
899 in 1885, from which we see that the mortality from this
disease has been about the same during the last 2 years.
