enteric fever and phthisis were exceptionally high for Stoke Newington.
The death-rate from consumption in Stoke Newington during 1904
was the highest yet recorded for the Borough, and it even slightly
exceeded that for London generally. This is a discouraging fact,
seeing that since the Borough was constituted we may justly claim to have
done more with the aim of reducing the prevalence of this disease
than has been done in any other Metropolitan Borough. I have dealt
with this subject and also that of infantile mortality, at some length in
the body of the Report.
Again I have to record my satisfaction at the way in which the
work of the department has been carried on by the different members
of the staff. In my opinion the appended Report of the Chief
Sanitary Inspector constitutes a very satisfactory record of work.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
February, 1905. HENRY KENWOOD.
