REPORT,
1877.
To the Board of Works for the Wandsworth District.
Gentlemen,
We have the honour to present the twenty-second
Annual Report upon the health and sanitary condition of
the Wandsworth District.
We have much to record in its pages of vital
interest to the community in the sad and stern facts
which the death register supplies; we have many improvements
to note in the sanitary state of the district,
and we have not a few suggestions to make of a prospective
character, through which we hope to see still
greater advances made towards the practical fulfilment of
the theories and science of Public Health.
We offer our unpretentious volume to the study
of all who are interested in our endeavours to ameliorate
the sanitary condition of the District, especially of its
poorer parts; and trust that you will accord to us your
approval of that which our efforts have achieved.
We have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servants,
The Medical Officers of Health for
the Wandsworth District.
