REPORT,
1870,
To the Board of Works for the Wandsworth District.
Gentlemen,
We respectfully beg leave to submit the Fifteenth
Annual Report on the health and sanitary condition of
our respective sub-districts, and of the entire District.
Although the statistics embodied in the tables applying
to the entire District, shew the past year to have been one
of extraordinary fatality in respect to Zymotic diseases,
there will, we trust, be found but little in this Report
to unduly excite the apprehensions of the inhabitants as
to the future, or to cause the Board to view such fatality
otherwise than as exceptional throughout the country.
Looking forward to the speedy abatement of the present
very formidable epidemic of Small-Pox, and to the speedy
return to their normal condition of this and all other
districts where both Small-Pox and Scarlatina have of late
been unusually prevalent and fatal,
We have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your very obedient Servants,
The Medical Officers of Health of the
Wandsworth District.
