Malignant Disease.
Lung and bronchus. In 1950, deaths from this cause were
24 males and 3 females, in the following year, 37 males and 3 females
and in 1952, 27 males and 4 females.
The figures for previous years are not available but the striking
reduction in male mortality front this cause during 1952 vice 1951 is
noteworthy.
Other malignant and lymphatic neoplasms. In 1950, 41
males and 37 females died from this cause. The following year the
figures were respectively 46 and 37, whilst in 1952, the male mortality
had fallen to 43 and the female had risen to 55.
This latter appears to be a significant rise but as in all matters
statistical it is wise to observe trends over a considerable period of time
before making deductions.
