Deaths from Phthisis.—Some reference has already been made to the matter
of deaths from tuberculosis and at this point it is proposed only to deal with the
figures relating to tuberculosis of the lungs (consumption or phthisis).
During 1921, the total number certified as due to this cause was 102, the deathrate
being 0.9 per 1,000.
Christ Church, though, as usual, it heads the list, was the district in which the
fall that brought about the general reduction took place.
