Report of the Medical Officer of Health.

In London and in this Borough there was only a slight increase
in the months of August and September, due to the number
of deaths of infants from Diarrhoeal diseases.
The four Tables which follow are inserted by order of the
Local Government Board.
Table I. shows the births, birth-rate, deaths, and death-rate
per 1,000 for the whole Borough for the year, and the 10 preceding
years; the total deaths of children under one year of age is
also given, and the rate per 1,000 births registered.
Table II. shows the population, the number of births and
deaths registered, and the number of deaths under one year of age,
for the whole Borough, as well as for the various sub-districts.
It also shows these for each year since 1898, and is to a large
extent a complete history of the mortality of the Borough for the
last 10 years.
Table III. shows the number of cases of infectious disease
notified during the year at all ages and at certain age periods in
the Borough and in the several sub-districts, and also shows the
number of cases removed from each sub-district to hospital.
Table IV. is the General Mortality Table for the whole
Borough, showing the number of deaths at all ages, arranged as
to cause of death. This also shows the total number of deaths in
each sub-district, and the number of deaths in Public Institutions
in the district, both of residents and non-residents.
