Class VIII.—Other Causes.
121 deaths were registered in this class, consisting
of deaths from Dropsy, Tumours, Haemorrhages, Debility,
Atrophy and Inanition, or other ill-defined or
non-specified causes.
Different rates of mortality from different diseases and
groups of diseases are given in terms of the total deaths
(corrected and uncorrected) in Tables T and U; whilst
Table T gives also the deaths from the chief Infantile
Diseases, expressed in terms of the Infantile population (or
Number of Births). Allowing for the slight differences between
the corrected and uncorrected death returns, it will be
noted that, in regard to both infantile and other diseases,
Lambeth again compares favourably with London (vide
Table U).
