The following table gives the death-rates from actual influenza (according to registration returns) :— NOTTINGHAM, 1900. Death-rates from Influenza in Registration Sub-Districts. Bulwell . 0-19 North-West . 0’41 North-East. 0-38 South-West . 0-58 South-East. 0-41 But these rates would be immensely swelled if all deaths directly or indirectly due to this disease were included. An example of some of the excluded deaths to which I refer will make this plain. The average weekly number of deaths from bronchitis, pneumonia, and pleurisy in Nottingham in January is about 18. The weekly number of such deaths during the first three weeks of 1900 were respectively 75, 70, and 51. NOTTINGHAM, 1900.
