REPORT
ON THE
SANITARY CONDITION OF SAINT MARY, ISLINGTON,
FOR FEBRUARY, 1860.

The mortality for February (264) has been much above the average; the
increase being attributable to acute pulmonary diseases, which have carried
off 88 persons, of whom 60 were under five years of age.
The number of deaths from scarlet fever was 15, nearly the same as in
January, the weekly numbers being 3, 3, 3, 6. There were 11 deaths from
small-pox, the largest number by far that I have hitherto recorded. Of these
deaths, 6 were of persons who were attacked with the disease in January.
