1908, 1.65 in 1907, 1.78 in 1906, 1.87 in 1905, and 174 in 1904.
The mortality among cases removed to hospital was 1.6 per
cent., compared with 1.77 in 1908, and among those treated at
home .57, compared with 1.25 in 1908. The mortality among the
home treated cases is much lower than among those cases treated
in hospital, while in 1908 the rates were respectively 1.77 and 1.25.
The proportion of cases notified per 1,000 of population was
2 88, compared with 3.67 in 1908, 4.08 in 1907, 3.4 in 1906, 5.1 in
1905, and 2.8 in 1904, and in the County of London 3.56, compared
with 4 60, 5.53, 4.3, 41, and 2.89.
The proportion of cases notified was thus .68 per 1,000 lower
in this Borough than for the whole of London, while in 1908 it
was .93 per 1,000 lower.
The following Table shows the rate of notified cases per 1,000
