MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT,
18 8 2.
Annual Report on the Health of the Parish of St. Martin-in-the
Fields, for the Year 1882.
To the Vestry of St. Martin-in-the-Fields.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour of submitting to you my
Thirteenth Annual Report on the health and sanitary
condition of the Parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields.
The Smallpox epidemic, which prevailed to such an
extent in the previous year, gradually declined during
the year 1882.
The mortality was slightly in excess of the former
year, due to the increased number of deaths which
occurred in the Charing Cross Hospital, there being
40 more than in the year 1881,
