The foregoing figures suggest that an effort should
be made to exert some control over those diseases
at present exempt from special measures of prevention
and repression. It is noteworthy that while Paddington
had last year a lower rate from 'controlled'

'uncontrolled' diseases was fifth in magnitude, the
disproportion being due to the mortalities from
whooping cough and diarrhoea.
