be79eadc-51e8-411b-8691-cc4c08f37bdb | It seems almost incredible now that as late as the middle of last century in a town with a much smaller population than Acton fifteen hundred deaths occurred from cholera in the autumn of one year. The provision of pure food supplies has undoubtedly caused the great diminution of mortality from diarrhoea and other dise... |
d4cfd9ab-d0b2-4dca-8f73-586021bd8170 | Dr. Osborne, the Medical Officer of Health for Silford, tabulated the deaths of certain towns and he found that the 1927 10 bronchitis death-rate in 1921 to 1925 for Manchester and the group of towns near Manchester, such as Salford, Blackburn, Bolton, Preston, Stockport, Burnley, wigan, Oldham, Bury and Rochdale, is r... |

The amount of ultra violet rays received in Kingsway, London, is only about half that received in Hampstead, and probably less than a quarter of that in the country. In Acton, we ... |

c761e88f-2612-4e5a-949b-63355a83dad3 | I think it may be Stated that the solution of industrial smoke pollution, as far as boiler furnaces are concerned, seems to be in sight. There still remains the domestic smoke problem. People prefer the open fire and will not readily change to other methods of heating, as far as the living room is concerned. As far as ... |

df5233e7-621e-4f6d-854d-9487020de21d | If we go back only twenty years, we are confronted with certain facts which are really amazing. In spite of the increased population, there were less deaths in the 3 years 1925, 1926 and 1927 than there were in 1905, 1906 and 1907. In the earlier three years there were 2052 deaths compared with 2027 in the last three y... |

If we compare the average age at death in 1927 with that of 1907, the contrast is still greater. In 1907, the average age 1927 17 at death was only 31.88 years, whilst in... |

86d6d642-0fcc-4a49-b776-0a5aab3b5c98 | It is a lamentable fact that deaths from cancer have increased, and the increased mortality is not entirely accounted for by improved 1927 18 methods of diagnosis.
