    As regards the causes of death among these children (see Table 23), it will be noticed that last year the deaths due to Measles were much under the average, owing to the absence of any epidemic. If the annual average of 11 deaths be taken as the basis for distinguishing between epidemic and non-epidemic years, this disease was epidemic six times during 1889-98, and non-epidemic, four, viz.:—

    The result of the combination is that the deaths which have to be attributed to "summer" or "epidemic" diarrhœa amount to 140, being only 14 short of double the average (77). The actual figures are as follow:—
