To the Board of Works of the Wandsworth District.
Gentlemen,
We have the honour to present our Annual
Report on the health of the Wandsworth District for
the year 1882—the twenty-seventh of our official duties.
It will be found to contain, as hitherto, special
reports relating to our respective Sub-districts as well
as a general report on the entire District. This mode
of compilation, it is believed from long experience,
affords the best means of conveying all the local as well
as general information necessary to elucidate the subject,
and of furnishing the most complete review of all
matters affecting the health of the inhabitants and
of the sanitary state of the District.
It is our pleasing duty to direct your attention to
the statistical information contained in the following
pages, and especially to that set forth in the series of
comprehensive tables appended to this report, with a
view of noting the well-marked indications of sanitary
progress there presented, and of the highly favourable
state of the health of the District during the past year.
We have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your faithful Servants,
The Associated Medical Officers of Health
of the Wandsworth District.
June 13th, 1883.
