In conclusion, the Board may be congratulated on the
success which has attended the efforts persistently made
during the last 21 years to improve the sanitary condition
of the locality, as evidenced by the low death-rate, high
birth-rate, and very small amount of sickness prevalent in
the Sub-district.
W. H. KEMPSTER,
Medical Officer of Health
for East Battersea.
