TYPHUS FEVER.

DIARRHCEAL DISEASES.
These include Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Choleriac Diarrhœa, Zymotic Enteritis,
Epidemic Enteritis, Infective Enteritis, Enteric Catarrh, Gastro-intestinal Catarrh
and Gastro-enteric Catarrh. Diarrhoea and Epidemic Enteritis have, however,
been classified separately, and between them caused only 36 deaths, which is
far and away the best return the Borough has ever known. In 1911 these
deaths numbered 324, and in the preceding year 76.
An examination of the figures onwards from 1885 shows that the average
number of deaths in each of the quinquennial periods were as follows:—
1886—1890 230 1901—1905 169
1891—1895 173 1906—1910 113
1896—1900 200
