Typhus Fever was not, so far as I am aware, present in
the Parish during the year, and only one death from it has
been recorded in the Parish since 1881.
Enteric (or Typhoid) Fever: 10 deaths were registered,
or four less than in 1891, and nearly live less than the
corrected average for the previous 10 years. Of these 10
deaths. 2 were those of Non-Parishioners in St. George's
Hospital, but one of our Parishioners died of this disease in
a Public Institution outside of the Parish.
Simple Continued Fever: no death was registered from
this disease.
Diarrliœa: only 20 deaths were registered, being 11) less
than in 1891, and 17 less than the average of the previous
10 years. Of these deaths, moreover, 2 were those of NonParishioners.
On the other hand there were 3 deaths of
Parishioners from Diarrhoea in Public Institutions outside
of the Parish. I may note that the mean temperatures of
the Winter, Summer and Autumn quarters were below the
average, that of the Spring quarter being one degree above
the average of the last 121 years. The mean temperature
of the year was 48.1 degrees, or half a degree below the
average of 121 years, and 11 below the average of the
previous 50 years.
One death from English Cholera was registered.
Influenza: no less than 75 deaths were registered in the
Parish from this disease (as against 46 in 1891 and 27 in
1890), and of these 43 were those of persons over 20 years
of age, and 35 of these were over 60. As I remarked last
year, the large number of deaths from diseases of the lungs
is no doubt attributable, to a certain extent, to the results
of attacks of this disease.
