The low zymotic death-rate is again chiefly attributable to
the absence of the autumn epidemic of Diarrhoea.
Only one death was registered from this cause.
Reference to the table on page 26 will shew that in epidemic
years as 1906, 1904, 1899, the number of deaths from this cause
has been 30, 24 and 32 respectively.
tion is taken into account, as the following table shews, the past
year is the most favourable so far, in the experience of the
Borough, as far as these causes of death are conoerned.
