THE CAUSES OF DEATH.—These are fully set forth
in Table I., in which it will be noted that the deaths are also
apportioned to different age-periods. Table II. is supplementary
to Table I., and sets forth the deaths in each Division of the
Borough during each of the four quarters of the year.
Comparing these tables with the corresponding tables of the
preceding year, the following facts are noteworthy : An increase
in the deaths from Consumption, Cancer and Scarlet Fever; a
decrease in those from Lung Diseases, Premature Birth and
Infant Wasting, Measles and Diphtheria.
It will be noted (Table II.) that the mortality of the Southern
Division exceeds that of the Northern (after due allowance is
made for the different figures of the population in each Division),
mainly in respect to the deaths from Tuberculosis, Whooping
Cough, Premature Birth and Infant Wasting, Summer Diarrhoea,
and Lung and Heart Diseases.
