(epidemic, endemic, and contagious) diseases, the death`.
(171) fall, fortunately, a good deal short of the auttoll7
average, but under almost every other class of disease
very great increase of mortality is perceptible. Tilt
the deaths from diseases of the brain and nerves wer
ISI for the week, while in the average they stand as 15' ;
those from affections of the lungs and organs of resPirB
tion amount to the enormous number of 525 for the
week, against 313 in the average; and those from dls:
eases of the heart and bloodvessls to 52, against 2o •
The deaths from violence, privation, cold, and inle,tri;
perance, during the week were very nearly double ,lhe
autumnal average, being 46 against 27. During
same period 1,311 births were registered in the metro'
pclitan districts, being an excess over the mortal/Ur "
only 49.
