Deaths from Infectious Diseases.
Infections other than tuberculosis accounted for few deaths in
this last year, there being two from pertussis, one from meningitis, one from
measles, and 40 from influenza. Tuberculosis accounted for 48 deaths,
disease from the lung being responsible for 41. The death rates per
thousand population from the various infections compared favourably
with those of the country as a whole.
