The true death-rate in St. James's is further affected by
the deaths of casual strangers who die in hotels and
lodging-houses. A large number of hotels and lodginghouses
are contained in the well-known fashionable quarters
near the great clubs of St. James's Street and Pall Mall.
To these there come invalids in attendance upon eminent
London Physicians and Surgeons, and, in such cases, the
line between residents and non-residents is often difficult to
draw. The cases dying in the Throat Hospital, again,
come from various places, and the deaths deducted on page
152 are only those of persons officially noted by the Registrar
as non-residents.
Of the notifiable Infectious diseases, 154 cases came
under notice during the year 1895. Of these 154 cases,
81 were of Scarlet Fever; 1 was of Small Pox; 42 were of
Diphtheria; 15 were of Erysipelas; 12 were of Typhoid;
I was of Continued Fever; I was of Puerperal Fever, and
I was of Membranous Croup. Of the 154 cases, 101 were
removed to Extra-Parochial Hospitals, and 5 to the Poor
Law Infirmary in Cleveland Street; 48 of the cases were
not removed. Details of these 154 cases are appended in
Table II., pages 162 to 174.
