These 359 Deaths will be the number on which to
estimate the death-rate.
Death-rate per 1,000 of the population for the
year 1884, 19.7.
Ratio of deaths to population, 1 in 50.5.
This slight increase in the death-rate over the previous
year is not due to the Zymotic class of disease,
for in the year 1884 the deaths from the seven principal
Zymotic diseases were 9 less than in 1883, but
is owing to an increase in the mortality from general
diseases, over which sanitary science has not the
control it has with infectious or contagious maladies.
