Zymotic
Mortality.
In table III. will be found the number of
cases of deaths from Zymotic disease. It is
gratifying to be in a position to record that only 9 deaths
took place this year as against 12 last year. This is
more especially a cause for congratulation as the Zymotic
death-rate is one of the safest indications of the health
of a district. The general death-rate is very liable to
be affected by accidental causes, and this is more particularly
seen amongst small populations. There was 1 death
from Measles as against 6 in 1889, and none from Scarlet
Fever as against 1 last year. The 1 death recorded as
due to Enteric Fever was not contracted in this district
but imported from the parish of Paddington. Two
deaths were recorded from Whooping Cough as against
3 last year. Three took place last year from Diarrhoea
and 2 from "other Zymotic diseases." The Zymotic
death-rate was 1.6. Last year it was 2.4.
