Local Diseases.—The total mortality was 48 deaths, against 40 for the previous month. The deaths from diseases of the respiratory organs were 16, 7 of which were at Christchurch.
Violent Deaths.—These were all suicidal. A male of 21 years, and another of 40 years, destroyed themselves by shooting. The third, aged 53 years, poisoned himself with strychnine.
The subjoined table shows the mortality for the last two months at each of these four boroughs from six principal zymotic diseases of the miasmatic order, and also the deaths from certain inflammatory diseases of the lungs. These causes of death have been distinguished from the others of the classes to which they belong, as being the most important special diseases which give rise to sudden increases in the death-rates of towns, and the prevalence of which is closely connected with sanitary condition and climatic influence of the season on health.
