To the Board of Works for the Wandsworth District.
Gentlemen,
We have the honour to present our Report for the
year 1884 on the vital statistics and sanitary condition
of the Wandsworth District.
In this report, which forms the twenty-ninth of its
kind, the same arrangement has been adopted as that
hitherto observed, of a separate report for each sub-district,
prefaced by a general report on the condition of the
entire district, and followed by a series of statistical
tables. These, although the last, are by no means the
least important part of the report, representing as they
do, in a comprehensive and concise form, an amount of
important sanitary information, the compilation of which
has formed no small task.
In spite of the increasing density of its population, the
health of the district remains most satisfactory, a fact
which must be most gratifying to your Board, and
which is calculated rather to ensure an increase of
those efforts which have been so productive of good in
the past, than to rest content with what has been already
accomplished.
We have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servants,
The Associated Medical Officers of Health
of the Wandsworth District.
June 19th, 1885.
