HEALTH °. F LONDON DURIIVG THE WEEK.
(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
The return for the week that ended last Saturday is a
proof of considerable improvement in the public health.
The deaths registered in the second week of May were
1,070, in the following they declined to 943, and last
week 'they fell to 683. In the ten weeks correspondin
to last week of the years 1342-51 the average
was 877 g
which, if raised in proportion to the increase of popula-
tion, will be 965. The mortality of last week is there-
fore less than the calculated amount by 82.
In comparing the results of the last two weeks it will
be seen that there is a decrease in zyixiotio diseases from
229 in the preceding return to 205 in tho present, in
diseases of the respiratory organs from 131 to 115, in
tubercular diseases (including phthisis), from 189 to
177, in diseases of the nervous system from 120 to
104, and in those of the digestive organs from 59 to
50. Taking particular heads in the zymotic class,
the cases in which hooping.congh was fatal declined
from 42 in the previous week to 31 in the lest, those of
croup from 10 to 4, of typhus, &e., 41 to 31. On the
other hand, the mortality caused by small-pox, measles,
scarlatina, diarrLeci, and erysipelas, does not vary, or
only to a trifling extent, in the two returns.
No death from cholera was registered in London
since the weer that ended 17th April till last week,
when, as appears from the fcllowing statement of par-
ticulars, two persons died of it:—
On 22d May, at 53, Little Sutton-street, the daughter
of a millwright, aged 3 months, " cholera infantum (5
days)."

On 26th May, at 33, Adelphi-terrace, Victoria- park, the
widow of a watchmaker, aged 72 years, died of ‘• cholera
(28 hours), exhaustion." Mr. Howard, the registrar,
states that the situation is very healthy and the drainage
good.
Last week small-pox destroyed 45 lives, those of 37
children under 15 years of age and 8 persons at that age
and up e ards. In four cases it is reported that vaccina-
tion had been previously performed, the sees of which
were 16, 29,32, and 50 years. During the twenty-two
weeks of the present year that have now elapsed the aver-
age weekly number of victims of this disease was in
January 34, in February 28, in March 26, in April 34,
and in May 39. Hencel it appears that this complaint
has latterly evinced a disposition to increase.
Five deaths occurred in the Small-pox Hospital; of
these the following are the particulars:—
On 21st May a boy, aged 11 years, from Princes-place,
Notting-hill, died of " small-pox, confluent, unmodified
(8 days)." Said to have been vaccinated in infancy at
Kensington; no cicatrix.
On 24th May, a grocer, aged 18 years, from Shuredlich,
" small-pox, confluent, unprotected (15 days)."
On 24th May, a girl, aged 5 years, from Vine-yard,
Tooley-street, "small -pox, confluent, unprotected (10
days)."
On 25th May, a female servant, aged 16 years, from
Throgmorton-street, "small-pox, confluent, unmodified
(9 days)." Vaccinated when 4 years old at Castle
Headinghani, Essex; one imperfect cicatrix.
Oa 26th May a porter, aged 29 years, from Friday-
street, City, " small-pox, confluent, hemorrhagic, un-
modified (10 days)." Vaccinated in infancy at Ciren-
cester; one smooth imperfect cicatrix.
At 38, Worship-street, Norton Folgate, on 27th May,
the son of a carman, aged 7 years, died of " variola,
petechia (4 days); no evidence whether vaccinated or
not." The medical attendant states that " bad drain-
age and ventilation, together with the state of privy and
the contiguity of a slaughter-house, influenced the type
of the disease." In the sub-district of St. John, Mary-
lebone, at 54, Great Carlisle-street, on 27th May, the
son of a painter, aged one year, died of " small-pox;
not vaccinated." According to the statement of the
medical 'attendant, " five other children in the same
family are suffering from the disease; only one, namely
the eldest, aged 15 years, has been vaccinated, the
mother having an objection to the operation. Three
children in a room above, belonging to another family,
are supposed to be sickening from the same disease." In
the sub-district of Trinity, Newington, at 58, St. An-
drew's-road, on 26th May, the wife of a carpenter, aged
32 years, died of "confluent small-pox (10 days); vac-
cinated many years ago; three distinct cicatrices."
In the sub-district of Camden-town, at 21, Weston-
street, on 24th May, the son of a batter, aged 12 years,
died of scarlatina (5 days)." Mr. Hell mentions that
"there are two slaughter-houses in the street, one of
which and a cowshed are near the house. It is a
crowded neighbourhood.
At 23, Crown-court, Pall-naall, on 26th May, the
daughter of a victualler, aged 3 years, died of " fever."
Most of the houses in this court (says Mr. Roberts) have
, no back windows, and they are consequently ill-venti-
lated. The house now mentioned has a skylight on the
top. At 15, Collingwood-street, in the sub-district of
Hackney-road, a drover, aged 56 years, died of " asthma
(2 mouths), dropsy (2 months)". This end of the street
is described by Mr. Murray as low, damp, and totally
undrained." On 28th May a grocer, aged 48 years, died
of " diabetes (duration unknown), constipation and vo-
miting (2 days)." He was only two days under medical
treatment. The medical attendant states that the con-
stipation and vomiting succeeded after the patient had
taken half a pint of whiskey as a remedy for the
diabetes. The son and daughter of a painter, at 42,
Molyneaux-street, Marylebone, aged respectively 1 year
and 7 years, died of pertussis within five hours of each
other.
