Whether we take the corrected or uncorrected death.rates
for Lambeth (as a whole), they are very satisfactory for
the year 1900, whilst on examining the death.rates more
closely, e.g., as to age.periods, and special diseases, we
still find cause for much congratulation. If, however, we
sub.divide the death.rate into the several Registration SubDistricts,
we find that the Inner District, e.g., Waterloo 1st
and 2nd, Lambeth Church 1st and 2nd, have again suffered
more than the Outer Districts, e.g., Kennington 1st and 2nd,
Brixton and Norwood ; though, it must be noted, comparatively
less, as shewn by the table of comparisons given on
page 17,
Norwood and Brixton have the lowest general death.
rates, and Waterloo Road 1st and 2nd, the highest; whilst
the lowest Zymotic rates are in Norwood, Biixton, Kennington
1st, and the highest in Waterloo Road 1st, Lambeth
Church 2nd, and Waterloo Road 2nd.
Compared with last year the general death.rate is much
lower, a decrease more noticeable in the Inner than the
Outer Wards ; whilst the Zymotic death.rate and infantile
mortality are also considerably lowered, comparatively more
in the Inner than the Outer Wards.
