Report of the Medical Officer of Health. 167
The diagram which follows shows graphically the proportion
which the more prevalent diseases bear to the total deaths.
The whole area of the circle represents the deaths from all
causes, and the various segments the deaths from particular diseases
or groups of diseases.
it will be observed that, as in previous years, the deaths from
Tuberculosis, Cancer, diseases of the Circulatory and Nervous
systems, and diseases of the Respiratory Organs contribute very
largely to the total mortality and also that the notifiable diseases,
other than Pulmonary Tuberculosis, contribute very little.
