8. Mortality.—The general death-rate among all the patients treated was
12 . 7 per cent. against 12 . 4 per cent. in 1890, but omitting the deaths from cholera,
the death-rate is reduced to 11 . 3 per cent. against 11.4 in the previous year.
The hospital mortality from this disease coincides very closely with the known
mortality among the general population. There were 761 cases of cholera
treated at the different medical institutions of which 455 died, or at the rate of
59.7 per cent., against 55 . 1 in the previous year. No matter where the disease
may be treated, the mortality continues to exceed 50 per cent.
9. The table given below shows the deaths among men, women, and children
treated during 1891 and the two previous years in the different hospitals.
Deaths of men, women, and children in 1889, 1890 and 1891.
