No accurate comparison of the deaths from epidemic diarrhœa for a long series of years in London
can be made; diagram XVII., however, shows the deaths from cholera, dysentery, and diarrhœa
combined, in relation to the mean of the period 1841-1904 in each year since 1840.
The death rate from these causes was higher in 1904 than in any year since 1876, and the death
rate of the third quarter of the year, the period in which the greatest proportion of the deaths occur,
was higher than in any year since 1873.
The following table shows that the London diarrhœa death-rate was in the decennium 1894-1903,
lower than the death-rate of any of the undermentioned large English towns except Bristol and Newcastle
and in the year 1904, was lower than that of any except Leeds, Bristol, Bradford and Newcastle.
