10 only of the 171 deaths from phthisis were in persons under 20 years of age, and 9 only of the 66 deaths from other forms of tuberculosis were in persons over 20 years of age. Thus Tuberculosis is equally prevalent among males and females under 20, but much more prevalent among males over 20. The largest number of de...

Teetotaller often means not an 45 habitual drinker, and temperate, not a drunkard, but even as the figures stand, it is a striking fact that 33 per cent. or one third of consumptives should be intemperate according to their own or their friends admission. 88. Of the houses of notified consumptives, 16 were to some exte...

In most the ventilation is good, much improvement having taken place in recent years, and the usual practice is to sprinkle and sweep the floors every morning. Notices are posted in every shop forbidding expectoration, and though the rule is not yet rigidly enforced, breaches of it seem to be exceptional. The workshops...
c1f25855-4980-4a2e-a04a-75639d355532
It is probable that the want of ventilation and the high temperature in some shops acts indirectly by weakening the constitutional resistance and thus making the men more susceptible to infection met with in other places. Samples of sweepings from the floors of six different workshops were examined at the Lister Instit...

The fact that men are affected more than women, that men are affected more after the age of 35, and that the incidence is specially on such occupations (dock labourers, musicians, carmen and cabmen, barmen, and others employed at publichouses) as give opportunity to frequent public-houses is further proof of the close ...

At the instance of your Council, a conference was held between delegates of the Councils of the three Boroughs of Greenwich, Lewisham, and Woolwich, as to the advisibility of establishing a joint Sanatorium for the treatment of phthisis.

With this end in view it is desirable that the stay at the sanatorium should be short to allow of the education of as many as possible, but it must not be expected that patients can be cured by two or even three months' residence. 101.

No doubt the real number of deaths from Syphilis, 54 infantile and adult, would be nearer 40 than 14.

Since the summer of last year, all adulterations have been reported, and this change of practice probably accounts for the small increase of adulterated samples and at the same time for the fact that proceedings were not taken in every case of adulteration. 4. The percentage of adulterated milk found in the Borough is ...

The decrease of inspections for infectious disease and consequent increase of house to house inspection is partly the result of the satisfactory cessation of small-pox, but the total number of inspections under both heads greatly exceeds that made in 1901, viz.: 4797 house to house, and 7123 infectious disease and comp...

The largest number was found in St. Margaret's and Herbert Wards, not probably because more overcrowding exists in these wards, but because the Inspector was more particular in applying the standard.

Want of proper and sufficient Water Closets.—Every house must have a proper and sufficient water closet, and houses occupied by more than one family must have one water closet for every twelve persons.

Flooding of Houses.—Owing to the exceptional rains of last year, numerous complaints were received of flooding of houses in low lying parts.
