Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
There is no doubt that these climatic conditions were the cause
of the largely increased mortality from Diarrhoea and Enteritis
in infants.
This will be well seen on the Chart facing page 98.
Sixteen of the deaths occurred in July, 148 in August, and 60
in September.
The high rate in Putney was due to Developmental diseases
and Diarrhoea, and in Wandsworth to Diarrhoea and Measles.
It is satisfactory to note that in Tooting the mortality was
116, which although 24 per 1,000 higher than it was in 1910, is still
five per 1,000 under the average for the previous five years.
