The deaths represent a death rate of 0.71 per 1,000 population.
In 20.59 per cent. of the fatal cases no previous notification had been
received. There was, however, no suggestion of wilful neglect or refusal
to notify, and accordingly no proceedings were taken.
The occupations more particularly affected by the disease were the
printing and boot repairing trades.
