Sanatorium Treatment of Consumpton.
The Council during 1910 decided not to endow beds at
the Sanatorium, Bencnden, Kent, for the use of inhabitants
in Lambeth Borough, suffering from consumption, on the
ground that, whatever is done, should be done for the Metropolis,
as a whole, by the Metropolitan Asylums Board or
other Central Authority and not by separate Borough
Councils.
GLANDERS.
During 1910, 21 notifications of animal glanders have been
received in Lambeth, under the London (Notification of
Glanders) Order,* 1907, as compared with 26 and 21 during
1909 and 1908 respectively, but no case of human glanders
has been notified.
EPIDEMIC INFLUENZA.
During 1910, 49 deaths were registered from Influenza in
the Borough of Lambeth, as compared with 66 during 1909,
and an average of 107.5 for ten years (1891-1900) in the
old Parish of Lambeth. Of the 49 deaths, 27 were registered
during the first, 4 during he second, 3 during the third,
and 15 during the fourth quarter of the year.
in London, there were registered 715 deaths (uncorrected)
from Influenza during 1910.
Reviewing the ten years' history (1891-1900) of the old
Parish of Lambeth in relation to Epidemic Influenza, it
will be seen that the disease was practically epidemic during
that decennium, rising to a maximum in 1892, 1895. 1899,
and 1900. The yearly average for ten years (1891-1900)
in the old Parish of Lambeth is 107.5, so that the 1910
statistics for the new Borough of Lambeth show a subepidemic
state.
* The Order includes also Anthrax and Hydrophobia occurring in
human beings. 6 Anthrax, and 1 Hydrophobia cases were notified
in London during 1910
