Typhoid Fever caused 27 deaths in May, against 16 in April. The largest number of deaths from this cause occurred in
Christchurch (10); Wellington (6); Auckland (6). There were 3 in Dunedin. Dysentery and Diarrhea caused 13 deaths in
May, against 23 in April.
There was an increase in the deaths from Constitutional Diseases from 16 in April to 25 in May; Cancer having caused 4
deaths in May, against 1 in April; and Tubercular Diseases having caused 21 deaths in May, against 15 in April.
There was a large increase in the deaths from Local Diseases, the numbers having been 73 in May and 45 in April. The
principal increase occurred in the following orders :-

Diseases of the Nervous System ... ... 20 in May ... ... 11 in April.
دو Organs of Circulation ... ... 13 " ... ... 9 "
دو Respiratory Organs ... ... 30 " ... ... 15 "

Violent Deaths increased from 7 in April to 12 in May. In two cases (one a prostitute and the other an infant, from neglect)
the coroner's jury returned a verdict of manslaughter.
