Report of the Medical Officer o Health.
The total number of cases notified was 1,748, (339 in Clapham,
89 in Putney, 463 in Streatham, 296 in Tooting, and 561 in Wandsworth),
compared with 1,614 in 1912, 1,949 in 1311, and 1,232 in
1910.
The next Table shows the rate per 1,000 persons living in the
Borough, in the separate sub-districts, and for the whole of London
for the year and for the previous ten years.
In 1903, 1904 and 1911 Chicken-pox was compulsorily
notifiable, and, as a consequence the rates in these years are
increased, especially in 1904.
