ANNUAL REPORT
of the
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH,

as to the Health and Sanitary condition of the Parish of
Twickenham, the first ten months of which were under
the superintendence of the late Medical Officer of Health, Dr.
Marston Clark, whose lamented death occurred in November.
Appendix " A " to the Report comprises the five tables
required by the Local Government Board.
Table I comprises the vital statistics of the whole District
for 1910, and previous years extending from 1899.
Table II consists of the Births and Deaths registered,
and with a view to giving more concise information such
table has been sub-divided corresponding with the four
Wards of the District, viz.:—South, East, West, and Central.
I still estimate the population at 27,000, comprising about
5200 in the South Ward, about 7500 in the East Ward, about
8800 in the West Ward, and about 5500 in the Central
Ward. The Whitton Ward is still included in the West
Ward, it being thought undesirable to make any alterafion
before the figures of the forthcoming census are available.
Table III shows the cases of Infectious Diseases notified
during the past year. Of the total cases 29 were in the South
Ward, 16 in the East Ward, 46 in the West Ward, and 16 in
