Coupled with a greatly reduced birth-rate, we have a higher infantile mortality. Although the infan... |

2f92ba08-6564-460d-a084-a8118b4b5291 | For 1917, the Registrar General estimated the civil population at 58,507 and the total population at (55,219. In last year's report I stated that both these estimates were approximately correct. In 1917, over 58,000 sugar cards were issued and there were over 7,000 Acton inhabitants on military duty. For the year 1918,... |
ef3e0270-82fc-45b2-9e1a-05c444b61a9b | The figures on the returns were incomplete as the returns were sent out soon after the issue of the ration books and did not include the ration books issued to those who had omitted in the first instance to fill in their addresses, &c.

640eef11-b91e-4213-bc0b-f176f5d9af1e | There were no houses tr» let in July or October and the births did not greatly exceed the deaths.

The figures at the Census were:— Over 15 years .Under 5 year... |

If the male population over 15 years of age had increased in the same ratio, it would show that 6,415 men were on active service. The Ward population in 1918 was as follows :— North East. North West.

cd8e8102-9332-47ed-950b-00a770059ced | But that is not the only reason, as the number of houses built between the Census and the beginning of the war was small.

2fb7ce77-87d5-4ef9-83b3-6d34da3386b1 | The Registrar General's figures is 965 and mine is 954. The Registrar General gives the number of deaths here in 1918 as 970 ; mj figure is 972. The possible explanation for this difference may be in the fact that I have included two deaths which occurred outside the district on December 28th and December 31st, 1917, a... |

2896351a-5a24-4d8d-9cec-b051203fedce | The difference in the type of disease possibly accounted for the fact that the doctors were not so overwhelmed with work in July as they were in October.

1ab13838-16f4-4a15-a42d-2d7e738794b8 | No actual death occurred from Influenza itself, but it is probable that it was the primary cause of some deaths attributed to diseases of the respiratory organs.

9b66ec00-587b-4844-bb96-0f844dacc737 | Most of the doctors w£ie of opinion that indoor occupations suffered most severely, but the police surgeon on the other hand said that the constabulary suffered more severely in comparison than those employed in indoor occupations. There was an unanimous opinion that those who lived in overcrowded and ill-ventilated ho... |
71a780b5-48c1-4bf3-93be-429ec1970755 | Five doctors had had no cases in the autumn amongst, the patients who suffered in July, and all the other doctors stated that an attack in July in the vast majority of instances conferred an immunity and the patient did not suffer again in the autumn. When a second attack occurred the patients had always shewn a specia... |
1ea3ecad-98fe-4cb8-b945-7a76330247f0 | Most of the doctors also were cf opinion that the infectious period was a short one; probably less than a week from the onset of the initial symptoms. Evidently the most infectious period was during the early stages of the disease, and the disease was spread by coughing and sneezing, but these acts were not essential t... |
f2d3ad5d-2eeb-4ca0-8ac9-c5e7f73567de | All the doctors complained of the lack of nursing facilities in the home. Private nurses were almost unobtainable, but 1918 12 even if it were possible to obtain private nurses it is doubtful if these would be available for the majority of the inhabitants. One doctor stated that the Deed was not so much of trained nurs... |

The causes of the... |
afeaedf8-cea4-4be8-bbb6-2d829ad3b6bd | Formerly all the clothing and bedding were removed to the steam disinfector, the rooms were elaborately and systematically sprayed and fumigated.

1551cf55-8f54-4f4f-afbf-d3c2226cb92e | There is again a decrease both in the number of cases uotified and in the number of deaths. From an examination of the history of the disease in the district, fours years ago, I predicted that we were probably entering then on a period of minimum prevalence and we may expect this period to continue for another '2 or 3 ... |

Inquiries were made by the Local Governmen... |
11e173ff-7e6f-4278-bab6-3fcdf85272cb | For 1917 there were 94 deaths and the infantile mortality was 96 per 1,000 births. On two previous occasions there has been a lower infantile mortality—in 1912 and 1916. The chief decrease was in deaths from Diarrhceal diseases. An examination of the Infantile Mortality Table will show that three-fourths of the deaths ... |
