Compared with 1908, there has been an increase in this rate
in Putney and Tooting, and a decrease in Clapham, Streatham and
Wandsworth.
It is satisfactory to note that there has again been a slight
decrease in the rate from this disease compared with the previous
year and with the decennial average. In the decennium 1851-1860
this rate for England and Wales was only 32.5 but it increased
in 1891-1900 to 75'8, and for London only in the decennium
1891-1900 to 86.3.
Tubercular Diseases.
The total number of deaths from diseases of a Tuberculous
nature was 362, compared with 382 in 1908, 352 in 1907, 376 in
1906, 360 in 1905, and 380 in 1904.
273 of the deaths were due to Tubercular disease of the
Lungs, 51 to Tubercular disease of the Brain, and 38 to other
forms of Tubercular diseases.
