REPORT
ON THB
SANITARY CONDITION OF ST. MARY, ISLINGTON,
FOR JANUARY, 1863.
No. LXX.
The registered mortality of January has been 282, corresponding
almost exactly with the corrected mean registered mortality of the same
month in the previous six years. But although this is the case, there
are other features in the Tables of Mortality and Sickness which are
far from satisfactory. The zymotic mortality has remained unusually
high. Scarlet fever and measles have still prevailed extensively, although
their violence appears somewhat to have abated since last month ; hooping
cough has carried off a considerable number of children, and 10 deaths
have been registered from fever. Small pox as the most readily preventable
of all infectious diseases is, however, that on which we must
look with the most concern. From this malady 9 deaths have been registered
in four weeks. In December 9 deaths were registered in the
course of five weeks ; so that the mortality from this disease appears
rather to have increased than diminished. The followiug are the
localities where the fatal cases occurred—
