Eight deaths have taken place from consumption of the lungs, and twelve from
inflammation of the air passages.
In Wells Road, Sydenham, in one family, three children and one adult have died from
scarlet fever, and the remaining members of the family have barely escaped. It appears
that in this district mortality attributed to epidemic disease seldom takes place but in
those localities which are remarkable for their want of drainage and attention to sanitary
measures; and this circumstance is no exception to this rule—a fact to which I have
before called your attention. The whole of the Wells Road is unhealthy from its want
of sewer accommodation, &c.
Scarlatina and measles are prevalent in the district.
Sixty children have been affected by measles in the North Surrey District School.
Meteorological tables and tables of mortality are appended as usual.
