THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
of the
MEDICAL, OFFICER OF HEALTH,
BEING THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1887.
TO THE VESTRY OF ST. PANCRAS.
Gentlemen,
The year 1887 shows the lowest marriage rate and the lowest birth rate
recorded in St. Pancras; and the death rate, although not the lowest, when
calculated by omitting the deaths in extra-parochial lunatic asylums as was dope
formerly, closely approaches it.
The births, and the deaths, the ages at death, and the causes of death, have
been corrected, and wherever compared as to sub-districts, those not assignable to
any particular sub-district have been distributed according to population.
The sub-districts are those of the Registrars of Births and Deaths.
The insertion of sub-district tables in the body of the Report has been
avoided as much as possible in order to facilitate reading but the details worke 1
out into correct figures appears in the tables at the end of the Report.
