sewer is to be laid down; and in Sanford.lane the stoppage, which was
temporary, has been removed.
In some of my former Reports I pointed out that although bad drainage
is one of the chief causes of fever, especially of typhoid, yet that other
agents, partly meteorological, take part in the production of this disease;
overcrowding and the effluvia evolved from dirty rooms or filthy clothing,
are also to be included in the number. I again mention this, as however
efficient a perfect system of drainage may be, we shall not, by carrying out
these works, entirely remove fever from amongst us; we shall, however,
reduce its frequency and modify its virulence. The localities in which deaths
from fever have been registered are as follows:—German Hospital;
Anderson.s Road; Eleanor Road; Homerton.row; Dalston.terrace;
Down.s.terrace; Stamford Hill Brewery; Little Margaret.street; Burges.s.
