Deaths in Certain Classes of Diseases.
Class 1.—Specific Febrile or Zymotic Diseases.
This class of diseases, called "Zymotic," comprises in
the Registrar-General's arrangement of the causes of
death, six orders. The first and second orders ("miasmatic"
and "diarrhœal") include the diseases which
the Registrar-General describes as the seven principal
diseases of the zymotic class; the term "fever" includes
"typhus," "enteric or typhoid" and "simple continued
forms of fever."
*
The zymotic death-rate is made up from these seven
diseases, as they are considered to be more or less of a
preventable character.
In St. Giles' District there were 70 deaths, equal to a
zymotic death-rate of 1.8 per 1,000, against 1.6, 2.2, and
2.0 in the three preceding years.
In Registration London these diseases caused 12,482
deaths, equal to a death-rate of 2.77 per 1,000.
In England and Wales 69,714 deaths were attributed
to these diseases, corresponding to a rate of 22.2 per
1,000 living, against 2.21 and 2.17 respectively in the
two preceding years.
