FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 28th, 1868 by C. J. B. ALDIS, M.D., M.A, Cantab,, Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, Fellow of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society of London, &c., medical officer of health, LONDON: printed by g. phipps, 16, ebury street, EATON SQUARE. to the Destry of St. George, Hanober Square. Mr Lords and Gentlemen, In presenting the Annual Report of the sanitary condition of the Parish for the year ending March 28th, 1868, permit me to remind you that I have only just been appointed sole Medical Officer of Health, and have been somewhat suddenly called upon to perform a duty for which I might otherwise have been better prepared. Births, Mortality, Death-rate, and Sickness. The number of births in the whole Parish was 2,335. The number of deaths registered in the parish between the 30th of March, 1867, and the 28th of March, 1868, amounted to 1,829, including those of 300 non-parishioners in St. George's Hospital, 90 in the Workhouse, Mount Street, and 43 in Little Chelsea Workhouse. The following table shows the gross number of deaths which have occurred in the Parish for the last nine years. Year. Deaths. 1859 1,838 1860 1,837 1861 1,769 1862 1,965 Therefore, the deaths (1,829) are the lowest which have happened during the past nine years. It is also worthy of note that the deaths of non-parishioners in St. George's Hospital during the same period exceed those of previous years (see following table), which still further lessens the number of deaths at home.

Deaths. 1863 1,882 1864 2,054 1865 2,015 1866 2,030 1867 1,914 In estimating the gross death-rate we must not forget how mnch the population of the parish increased between 1851 and 1861, and that it was increasing at the rate of 1,500 per annum in the Belgrave Sub-District up to 1864; bo that, estimating the population at 91,500, the gross death-rate was 19'5 per 1,000 living; but, deducting the deaths (299) of non-parishioners at St. George's Hospital, the death rate at home was 16-7 per 1,000, 5 It has been already proved in former reports that the death-rate varies much in different parts of the parish; that in streets and squares occupied by the rich it has been remarkably low, while in poor streets and mews there was a considerable increase; hence, it would be very erroneous to infer, from the low rate of the average mortality for the whole of the parish, that sanitary supervision is unnecessary. There are plenty of mews, rows, buildings, passages, yards, places, streets, and courts, besides cow-yards, slaughter-houses, and marine store dealers throughout the parish, which require constant watching in order to maintain the public health. Several mansions have been completed near the Victoria Railway Station, on the site formerly occupied by Lower Eaton-street and Eaton-lane, supplying accommodation for wealthy families. The houses are large and handsome, surrounding open spaces, which are planted with trees, and form additional lungs for the inhabitants of Belgravia. The number of houses taken down in Ebury-square and its vicinity is 61, which contained about 325 rooms and 250 families. About 50 more houses are about to be taken down, including Prince's-row and Clifford's-row, the most wretched in the parish, and the ground is to be occupied by comfortable model houses. Here, it may be asked,— What has become of the poor people who have been displaced? Many have gone to Battersea, and others have become residents in Gatliff Buildings. This block of model lodgings, erected by the Marquis of Westminster, was opened on the 29th of April, 1867. It contains, when full, 148 families, averaging about 590 persons, according to the statement of Mr. Pitman, the Superintendent. 6 The following table shows the number of deaths which have occurred there between May 19th, 1867, and March 18th, 1868. Although these are registered in the annexed mortality tables, still, I thought it might be interesting to consider the deaths in this establishment, apart from the general mortality of the parish.

'68 1 1 Inflammation of the Lungs. 18 8 Feb. 11 10 Inflammation on the Brain. 19 28 „ 40 - Paralysis. 20 18 March 41 - Pneumonia. During the same period there were 18 births—9 males and 9 females. Assuming, then, the number of inhabitants to be 590, the death-rate was 3.23 per cent., or rather more than 30 per 1,000 in about ten months. It appears also that, out of 20 deaths, 5 were caused by zymotic diseases, and 10 from inflammation. I confess my surprise at finding so many deaths in these model buildings, especially as they are very convenient, comfortable, well ventilated, and situate in a parish whose average death-rate has been only 17 per 1,000. The deaths at Gatliff's Buildings exceed the highest 7 (22.4)* of those estimated as having occurred during four years in the second and third-rate business streets, and the dwellings of the artizan population in the Hanover and Mayfair Sub-Districts. This high rate of mortality in the first year of occupation naturally induced me to enquire further into the subject, and it appears, from the reports of the directors of the Metropolitan Association for Improving the Dwellings of the Industrious Classes—copies of which have been kindly sent to me by Mr. Gatliff—that the mortality in the entire property of the Association has in the year [1867] been 47 out of an average population of 2,681; 26 of these deaths were of children under ten years of age. It appears, therefore, that the average rate of mortality in the buildings of the Association has been rather over 17 per 1,000, while that of the metropolis generally has been 26½ per 1,000. On reference to the reports it will be found that the rate of 17 per 1,000 in the dwellings of the Association has now been maintained for seven successive years. What, then, produced the high rate of mortality in these new buildings ? Mr. Gatliff supposes "that it might possibly arise from the state of health of the families, at the time they became tenants, coming from close and confined neighbourhoods." It has been observed in houses newly erected that, either from dampness of the walls, or from disturbance of the ground in the neighbourhood, a somewhat high rate of mortality prevailed. The site, originally swampy, and of low elevation, formed a part of the parish shoot, and children in the vicinity often suffered formerly from gastric fever. Children encountered strong gusts of wind, during winter, in the galleries and passages of these buildings, so that parents should attend more to their thermal comfort than they do at present. I have often seen the youngest infants carried about there with bare arms and necks in the coldest * Report No. 14, page 27, 8 weather, but the parents should reflect that, if they do not die of fever they may die of inflammation—that in avoiding Scylla they may fall into Charybdis. Whatever may be the cause we shall all watch with interest the rate of mortality during the present year. But the Table does not give an adequate idea of the case3 of sickness which have received attendance from the Royal Pimlico and the St. Paul and St. Barnabas' Dispensaries during the same period. I am able to give a return of the patients attended from the latter Institution. One hundred and forty patients were treated,—of whom 1 was affected with chicken-pox, 7 with measles, 6 with scarlet fever, 3 with whooping-cough, 1 with croup, 10 with diarrhoea, 1 with erysipelas, 29 with bronchitis, and 1 with quinsy,—making a total of 59. The remaining 81 diseases were principally slight rheumatic pains, debility, and diseases of the digestive organs. The following model lodging houses are situate in the InWards. Bloomfield Place, Grosvenor Mews, New Bond Street; contains 28 families, consisting of about 112 persons; but it so happens that no death has been registered within the period of this report. Middle Row, also in Grosvenor Mews, contains 32 families, and about 135 persons, where 3 died, and those three adults, namely, 1 woman, age 25, of consumption; 1 man, aged 51, of diseased heart; and 1 woman, aged 31, of general anasarca. Besides these there are Oxford House, Grosvenor Market; containing 6 families and 30 persons, deaths 0,and Nos. 21 and 22 in the same place, the former accommodating 11 families and 36 persons, and the latter 4 families and 21 persons. At No. 21, an infant, of 18 months, died of tabes mesenterica ; a male, of 34, of aneurism ; an infant, of 4 months, of convulsions; another, of 11 weeks, of choleraic diarrhœa; and a man, of 52, of consumption. At No. 22, there were no deaths. 9 In the annexed Mortality Table for the four quarters of the year, I have classified the deaths in the parish according to age ; so that 337, or rather more than one-fifth, died under 1 year, and 237, or rather more than one-seventh, died at 1 and under 5. Zymotic and other Diseases. Zymotic disease destroyed 316 persons,—56 in the first quarter of the year, 89 in the second, 79 in the third, and 92 in the fourth. The principal causes of death were as follows:—Small-pox 4 (showing a decrease on the previous year of 6), measles 35, scarlet fever rose from 28 to 52, diphtheria 17, quinsy 1, croup 15, sore throat 1, whoopingcough 40, typhus fever rose from 19 to 30, erysipelas 12, metria 4, pyaemia 19, dysentery 4, diarrhoea 58, cholera declined from 15 to 4, remittent fever 1, rheumatism 4, syphilis 9, and thrush 6. Tabes and scrofula proved fatal to 29 persons, consumption to 228, lung disease declined from 328 to 282, hydrocephalus, convulsions, and teething destroyed 95. There were 44 deaths from accidents or negligence; 8 of infants from murder. There were also 5 deaths from suicide, and 15 of infants from causes not specified or illdefined. Sickness. The Table of Sickness (Table II.) refers only to those cases of existing diseases which have been recorded by the parochial surgeons in the Out-Wards and at the several Institutions from which I either receive returns or make them myself. The returns of sickness from the In-Wards have been made so generally during the past year that I am unable to tabulate them. I can, however, give the totals as they appeared in the monthly Reports. But it is very difficult to arrive at perfect accuracy in making these returns, 10 from various causes, which shows, I think, that a complete system of registration of sickness is much needed. Yet the information now obtained is most valuable for discovering the foci whence zymotic disease originates, and enabling the Sanitary Officers to apply cleansing and disinfectants or to abate nuisancas wherever and whenever necessary. It should be stated that most of the patients who suffered from zymotic disease at St. George's Hospital were non-parishioners; and that those among the poor who are attended by the Medical Officers of the Dispensaries, and by the Parochial Surgeons, more strictly belonged to our parish. My best thanks are due to Drs. W. Griffith, Webb, Mr. C. P. Ward, and Mr. E. Jay, for filling up some of the Returns. In the Hanover and Mayfair Sub-Districts, the total number of cases treated by the Parochial Medical Officers, and at the Dispensary, Mount-street, and in the Sick Wards of the Mount-street Workhouse, has been 37,073. Amongst them were 9 cases of small-pox, 5 of chicken-pox, *27 of measles, 54 of scarlet fever, 43 of whooping-cough, 101 of diarrhoea, 2 of erysipelas, 25 of fever, 2 of diphtheria, 1 of dysentery, 1 of ague, 487 of bronchitis, and 3 of pneumonia.

A summons was taken out in September 1867 against a costermonger, for unlawfully exposing for sale a quantity of oysters, unfit for human food. A poor man was brought to my house, suffering severely, after having eaten some of the oysters, which had been purchased by the defendant from a salesman at Billingsgate. Mr. Selfe, the Magistrate, although he could not convict the defendant, as he might urge that he did not know the condition of the oysters until they were opened, recommended my following up the case against the salesman; but as he wrote a letter to Mr. Selfe, which appeared in the Times of September 28th, stating that after having discovered that the oysters were bad, he had ordered '200 bushels to be taken to sea and thrown overboard, no further proceedings were taken. On November 5th the owner of No. 2, Street's-buildings, Mount-street, appeared to answer the complaint of the Medical Officer of Health, for having the premises infected with fever, and unfit for human habitation. The house had been cleansed by the owner, but fever still continued. Three children had died there of malignant scarlet fever, and a fourth child had been taken to the Hospital suffering from the same disease. The house had been cleansed and fumigated, but still the disease existed in it, and an order was sought from the Magistrate to have it shut up, that it might be properly disinfected. Mr. Tyrwhitt decided that the house was unfit for human habitation, and made an order to have it closed, until the Medical Officer certified that it was fit for occupation. A severe outbreak of diphtheria occurred in January 1868, in one of the stables in Kinnerton-street, where 6 children, whose ages varied between 5 and 15, where attacked with the disease, 3 of whom died. The disease appeared in other 14 Btables and houses in the same locality, and some of the patients were taken to St. George's Hospital. It has been remarked by many that diphtheria generally occurs among the upper classes of society, yet in this locality it commenced and prevailed among the lower orders. But my principal object in noticing this case is that it is of the utmost importance in a sanitary point of view, that the most probable sources of disease should be rigidly investigated. In this instance, however, a letter was sent to the Times* to the effect that the diphtheria was caused solely by drinking impure water—no doubt with perfect good faith on the part of the writer—but as the first patient who died was out at service during the day and only slept at home, and merely partook of " a little cooper,"—a mixture of ale and stout—the water could not have occasioned her death. Again, she slept, during very inclement weather, in a cold unfurnished loft with one of her sisters, which was traversed by a wooden gutter, open at the top and at each end for conveying rain water. It contained a muddy deposit, an inch in depth. The stable was offensive. Moreover the water was analysed and proved to be incapable of producing such a malignant disease, and the cistern contained a charcoal filter, O ' ' so that the horses drank filtered water. Hence in attributing the cause of the diphtheria to the water alone, various other important sources of disease were entirely overlooked. The Inspector and myself made a stable-to-stable visitation, in order to apply means for checking the progress of the disease. Gas. Two hundred and eighty-six observations were made during the year, upon the six gases supplied by the Chartered, * See the Times, Feb. 7th and 10th, and the Lancet, Feb. 15th, 1868. 15 London, and Equitable Companies, at No. 40, Parliamentstreet, 73, Bessborough-street, and 78, Cambridge-street, respectively. The gases were burned in accordance with the Metropolis Gas Act, 1860, and the illuminating power continued above the standard required by the Act. With respect to purity, all the gases were free from sulphuretted hydrogen, and so far free from ammonia, that they did not discolour the turmeric paper, except on April 17th, 25th, May 17th, 23rd, June 8th, 26th, July 5th, and October 24th, 1867 ; and on March 6th, 13th, 18th, 1868, when the common gas of the London Company, and on March 17th, 1868, when the cannel gas of the Equitable Company, presented traces of ammonia. The following Table gives the average light in sperm candles of all the gases :— Chartered. London. Equitable.
