Zymotic Diseases.
The number of deaths in the parish and the Asylums Board and other Hospitals is 131.
In 1893 the number was 142. In 1894 the number was 12G. In 1895 the number was 102.
In 1896 the number was 154.
All the cases of Measles were complicated with Bronchitis, Pneumonia, or BronchoPneumonia.
In my opinion these various forms of lung disease were the true causes of
death. The deaths from Infantile Diarrhœa are greatly in excess of former years; the
nearest approach being in the year 1886-7, when the deaths from this disease were fortyfour.
The complete enumeration of deaths from Zymotic Diseases is as follows:—
Smallpox, none; Scarlet Fever, twenty-two; Enteric Fever, two; Typhus Fever, none;
Puerperal Fever, one; Continued Fever, none; Relapsing Fever, none; Diphtheria,
nineteen; Diarrhoea, forty-nine; Measles, nineteen; Whooping Cough, fourteen; Erysipelas,
one; Membranous Croup, none; English Cholera, none; Influenza, four.
