Deaths.
The total deaths from tuberculosis of all types during the year numbered 94,
of which 64 were males and 30 females. In the previous year the total number was
98, of which 58 were males and 40 females. Of the total deaths from tuberculosis,
pulmonary accounted for 84, or 89.4 per cent., and non.pulmonary for 10, or 10.6 per
cent. The death rate from pulmonary tuberculosis was 0.93 and from non.pulmonary
0.11, making a total death rate from all forms of the disease of 1.04. The corresponding
figures for 1933 were, pulmonary 0.96, non.pulmonary 0.09, a total of 1.05. The
average death rates for the five years 1929.1933 in respect of pulmonary tuberculosis,
non.pulmonary tuberculosis and all forms of tuberculosis, respectively, were 0.94,
0.12 and T06. The figures for 1934, therefore, represent a decrease of 0.01 in the
pulmonary and 0.01 in the non.pulmonary rate, making a combined total decrease
for all forms of the disease of 0.02.
The following tables show the incidence of cases of tuberculosis and of deaths
