the population increases fast. The deaths being less by 32 than
last quarter, indicate a temporary saving of life which would
appear to be in the class of Zymotic diseases that affect the
infantile portion of the population.
The deaths from the Zymotic class of disease are only 66,
or half of the last and of many previous quarters, viz. :—135.
Epidemic or Summer diarrhœa, which accounts for 86 deaths
