This Borough has thus a very favourable record, being fourth
out of the 29 Metropolitan Boroughs.
This is doubtless due to three main factors: —-
(1) To the large amount of re-vaccination performed.
(2) To the constitution of the population.
(3) To the methods adopted and carried out by the
Sanitary Staff of the Borough.
