In the Books of the Parochial Medical Officers, from the Star
street and Kilburn Dispensaries, and from Returns sent by a few
private Medical practitioners, 3757 cases of disease have been
recorded, indicating however, nothing unusual of an epidemic
or endemic character, in the state of public health of this
District.
