REPORT.
To the Board of Works for the Wandsworth District.
Gentlemen,
We have the honour of submitting to your notice
our respective contributions to the Annual Report for
1862 (the seventh year of our exertions under the Metropolis
Local Management Act), together with the usual
summary of the Health of the entire District, during
J
the same period.
The Tables, both in the Local Summaries and in the
Appendix, being constructed on forms that admit of ready
comparison with those employed in previous years, it is
unnecessary to say more in this place, than that the
statistics embodied in these Tables have furnished us with
materials for a Report, the reverse of discouraging.
We have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your very obedient Servants,
THE MEDICAL OFFICERS OF HEALTH
of the wandsworth district.
