The deaths from Fever in the Fever Hospital belonging to the Asylum Board of patients
removed from this District were 9, and 2 died of scarlet-fever, thereby increasing the deaths
from epidemic diseases by 11; but, on the other hand, the deaths from fever of non-residents
which occurred in the London Hospital, must be deducted. The deaths, therefore, from
epidemic diseases in this District were 384 for the year 1874.
