Health of the District.
The usual summer diarrhoea, which often begins at this
time of the year, and tends to raise the death-rate, lias been
practically absent. Pulmonary complaints and infectious
diseases have also been but little prevalent; the consequence
of these combined causes is that the public health has been
exceptionally good and compares favourably with the similar
period in past years.
