Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
Deaths of Illegitimate Children.
82 deaths of illegitimate children were registered during the
year, 11 in Clapham, five in Putney, 22 in Streatham, 15 in Tooting,
and 29 in Wandsworth.
23 of the deaths occurred from Premature Birth and Developmental
diseases, 20 from Diarrhoea, 17 from Enteritis, four from
Congenital Syphilis, two from Whooping Cough, two from Accident,
and 24 from other causes.
There has been a decided increase in the number of deaths of
illegitimate children compared with 1905 when it was 69, but this
is due wholly to the increase in the number of deaths from Diarrhoea
and Enteritis compared with the previous year.
Water Supply.
The following Tables, which have been abstracted from the
monthly reports of the Water Examiner to the Local Government
Board, show the results of the analyses of the water of the two
district supplies for each month during the year.
