MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT,
1886
Annual Report on the Health of the Parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields,
for the Year 1886.
To the Vestry of St. Martin-in-the-Fields.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour of submitting to you my Seventeenth
Annual Report on the health and sanitary condition of the Parish.
This year has not been marked by the visitation of any special
epidemic, such as small-pox, &c.
The deaths were one less than in the preceding year, and the
death-rate, after deducting those non-parishioners who died in the
Charing Cross Hospital and adding those parishioners who died
in institutions outside the Parish, was less than in the previous
year.
We may, therefore, congratulate ourselves that sanitary science,
the better knowledge and treatment of disease, are tending to the
lowering of the death-rate. Of course, we are not perfect—if such
a state of things can be attained—but within the last few years
great and wonderful progress has been made in reducing the
mortality, as the gradual decline in the death-rate of London will
show. London, the largest city in the world, can fairly claim to be
the healthiest.
