Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
| Sub-Districts. | 1910 | 1911 | 1912 | 1913 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clapham | 1.52 | 2.88 | 2.24 | 3.33 |
| Putney | 1.60 | 1.72 | 1.43 | 1.50 |
| Streatham | 1.82 | 2.27 | 2.32 | 2.72 |
| Tooting | 3.03 | 3.64 | 5.80 | 4.10 |
| Wandsworth | 2.30 | 3.39 | 2.42 | 3.00 |
| Whole Borough | 2.00 | 2.82 | 2.65 | 2.97 |
| London | 2.15 | 2.32 | 2.50 | 3.88 |
In all the sub-districts the rate was slightly higher than in
1912, with the exception of Tooting where it was lower, while for
the whole Borough it was .32 per 1,000 above the rate for the
previous year.
In Clapham the greatest number of cases was notified in
October, November and December, and the smallest in August.
In Putney the greatest number of cases was notified in April,
in Streatham in October, in Tooting in November, and in Wandsworth
in July.
The rate in Tooting was to some extent raised by the notification
of cases from the Fever Hospital. The total number of
cases notified from this Institution was 32, so that the rate instead
of being 4.10 would on that account be reduced tc 3.44 in 1913,
and 5.00 in 1912.
In the whole Borough the greatest number of cases, viz.—137,
was notified in October, and the smallest in August, viz.—48.
