HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE

WEEK.

(From the Report of the Registrar-General.)
The deaths in London were 1,284 in the week
that ended last Saturday, and exhibited a decrease
on the number of the previous week, which was
1,407. In the ten years 1850-9 the average number
of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last
week was 1,073 ; but, as the deaths in the present
return occurred in an increased population, they
should be compared with the average raised in
proportion to the increase—namely, with 1,180.
The comparison shows that the deaths of last week

were more numerous by 104 than they would have
been if the average rate of mortality for the middle
of April had prevailed. Though the mean tempera-
ture of the air was rather higher than that of the
previous week, the weather continued cold, and
was remarkably cold on the last three days.
In the last two weeks bronchitis has declined
from 208 deaths to 157 ; pneumonia from 116 to

73; but phthisis continued fatal last week, the
deaths from it being 181, while the corrected ave-
rage is 154. Whooping-cough was fatal to 51 chil-
dren, the corrected average being 60. The deaths
from scarlatina were 26 ; those from diphtheria 11,
of which 3 occurred in the sub-district of Plumstead.
Those from measles rose to 33.

Smallpox was returned in 20 cases, 14 of which
occurred to children, 6to adults. Medical infor-
mants are requested to return in all cases the pri-
mary as well as the secondary disease, Thus,
when smallpox is followed by a secondary disease,
the smallpox should be returned as the p rimary
cause.

Of 13 deaths from suffocation returned last
week, 11 were those of infants suffocated in the
bedclothes. Three infants were murdered, or died
from neglect. Seven deaths were from bunts. Of
six persons who died from their clothes taking
fire, one was a spinster, aged 22 years ; another was
a man who had bean a banker's clerk, a.,,aed 89
years ; a third, the son of a mason's la: bourer,
aged 4 years ; a fourth, the son of a leatb.er E:nisher,
aged 2 years; a fifth, the daughter sar. a scdieitor,
10 years; and a sixth, the
