GENERAL REMARKS ON THE CAUSES OF DEATH.
77
During the early part of the year a small epidemic of Small-pox occurred. Thirty-nine cases were examined at the Public Mortuary. The first case was re- ceived in the 7th weck of the year, and from that time onwards the number of cases per week increased slowly until the 14th week of the year. Subsequent to this date, the cases became much fewer. The majority of the cases occurred in young children. The type of the disease was usually severe, confluent Small-pox forming by far the largest number of cases.
