The death-rate from Zymotic diseases as shown in the above
Table was .36 under that for 1906, and .72 under the decennial
average.
The rate was lowest in Streatham and highest in Tooting,
while, compared with the decennial average, Clapham shows the
greatest reduction and Wandsworth the next.
The rate for Tooting was .53 above the decennial average,
although it was .05 under the rate for 1906. This high rate was
due to the number of deaths from Diarrhœa, Measles, Whooping
Cough, and Diphtheria.
