INFECTIVE DISEASES.
The next Table shows the number of deaths from these diseases
during the year and for the 10 previous years. This Table is

in the Borough occurred in the Grove Fever Hospital and belong
to other Metropolitan Boroughs. The number above or below the
corrected decennial average is also shown.
