HEALTH OF LONDOIV DUI:IAG THE WEEK.

-
(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
Nine hundred and fifty-three deaths wers regis-
tered in London in the week ending last Saturday.
The average of ten corresponding weeks in 1841-50
was 922 ; but as population increased during the ten
years and up to the present time, the average, to be
rendered comparable with last week's mortality, must
be raised in proportion to the increase. The average
thus corrected may be stated as 1,014, on which the
deaths of last week show a decrease of 61.
The zymotic or epidemic class of diseases produced
242 deaths, or more than a fourth of the total amount,
while the corrected average is 278. The number of
fatal cases ascribed to small-pox is 18, all of which
occurred to children, and in none is it stated that the
patients had been previously vaccinated. The neglect
of vaccination is repeatedly noticed by the registrars,
and their observations on this subject deserve atten-
tion. In North St. Giles, at 21, Lumber-court, the
daughter of a butcher, aged 3 years, died of small-pox
after nine days' illness. Mr. Simpson remarks, that
" this is the second death within a week from small-
family, a brother aged six years
pox in thishaving
died of the disease. In neither case bad vaccination
been performed, the general adoption of which is
loudly called for in poor and over-crowded districts,
where so many fatal cases occur, owing to the
epidemic diffusion of the, disease, as well as a greater
degree of susceptibility.'
7
In Ilaggerstone West, at 75, York-street, the son
of a bricklayer, sg d 2 years, died of "confluent
small-pox (10 days)." This (Mr. Bowring adds)
furnishes another example of prejudice. Four months
ago I requested the parents to vaccinate their chil-
dren, as small-pox was in the neighbourhood, but they
did not consent. The following is from a letter of
the medical attendant of the above case :
" On the 20‘h of last month I attended a girl, aged
8 years, for an attack of small-pox, and was informed
by her mother that there were two of her children
who had not been vaccinated. I requested her to al-
low me to vaccinate them but could not prevail, al-

though I warned her of the consequence. The result
is the death of one, and the other is now awl
from the premonitory symptoms of the disease, whic
I have no doubt will terminate fatally. Since roy BP.
!:
perel
pointment to this district I have frequently ex
enced great opposition from parents to have °l;
children vaccinated, and without the enactment 0_
some stringent measure to compel parents and
id of °I othe4;
to submit, there is no chance of getting r
loathsome disease."
In South St. Giles, at 9, Great Earl-street, tbe
daughter of a lawyer's clerk deceased, aged 4 ytrs2•
died of small-pox, without medical attendant. -*Po
Faulkner mentions that " this child has never keel
vaccinated. The mother had applied to a allapos
man, who refused to attend, as he said
nm
was contagious, and he might take it:" ' s
Amongst epidemics it is evident that scarlatin

numbers have run thus :-29, 27, 41, 41, 481°13u14

Castle-street East, on 4th October, the son of a cl 7;

three children from scarlatina maLgna (ages fronlo,„

In the south sub-district of West London? attlit,
Dean-street, St. Andrew's, the son and danghtertairo
compositor, aged respectively 18 months Pa
years, died of scarlatina. Mr. Nason states, Os' laid
