To the Board of Works for the Wandsworth District.
Gentlemen,
We have the honour to present our Annual Report
on the Health, Sanitary Condition, and Vital Statistics of
the Wandsworth District, for the year 1895.
The usual form of report has been followed with some
new matter added.
Although the death-rate and other figures of mortality
show a rise on the previous year, when most exceptionally
healthy conditions prevailed as to climate &c., yet they
compare favourably with former years; and the Report
shows that a large amount of work has been accomplished
towards improving the sanitary condition of the
district.
We have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servants,
The Medical Officers of Health for the
Wandsworth District.
