situated Nazareth House, in which 5 deaths occurred.
Now these deaths happen, by a kind of accident only, in
the districts in which they are registered; and in comparing
the health of the several districts should either

The latter plan is on all grounds to be preferred;
and the following scheme exhibits the details of the
re-distribution which I have thought it right to make.
