These figures shew that Phthisis is vastly more important as
a cause of death than the notifiable infectious diseases of Scarlet
Fever, Diphtheria, Typhoid Fever and Small Pox combined, and
that when the non-notifiable zymotic diseases of Measles, Whooping
Cough and Diarrhoea are added, the number of deaths from
Phthisis is still the greater, except in the two years 1906 and
1904, when the number of deaths from Diarrhoea was abnormally
large owing to the autumn epidemic in those years.
