Report oj the Medical Officer of Health.
The following Table shows the death-rate per 100,000 from
Tuberculous disease of the Lungs for the whole Borough, and for
the separate sub-districts for the year, as well as for the preceding
10 years.

The above Table has been corrected on the population as
•enumerated at the Censuses of 1901 ard 1911, and is thus more
correct than was shown in previous Reports.
Compared with the decennial average the rate was somewhat
lower in the whole Borough, but the sub-districts of Clapham and
Streatham have an ircreased rate compared with that average,
while Putney, Tooting and Wandsworth are lower, the last subdistrict
showing a most satisfactory reduction of 34 per 100,000.
The rate in Clapham for 1911 is higher than it has been since
1904, and in Streatham it was only once exceeded in the previous
10 years, viz.—in 1908.
In Tooting the rate is lower than it has been since 1902, and
in Wandsworth it is the lowest ever recorded.
This last sub-district has always had a higher average mortality
from Pulmonary Tuberculosis and it is satisfactory to observe
jliat in 1911 the reduction has been so great.
