    E (a). Papers relating to the Sanitary State of the People of England (General Board of Health, 1858), by E. Headlam Greenhow, M.D., p- 38. Table xiv. Average annual Pulmonary Death-rates for the eight healthy districts—Bootle, Builth Easington, Garstang, Glen- dale, Haltwhistle, Houghton-le-Spring, and Romney Marsh; and for the eight urban districts, Liverpool, West Derby, Manchester, Salford, Charlton, Birrr.ingham, Blackburn, and Leeds. Per 100,000 persons of both Sexes. Per 100,000 Males. Per 100,000 Females. Eight healthy Districts . 333 30s 340 England and Wales . . 569 Hi Eight unhealthy Districts 811 862 764 The Pulmonary mortality of males is rather higher than that of females in England and Wales. The female Pulmon- ary mortality is one-eighth more than that of males in the eight healthy districts ; the male mortahty being at the rate of 305, and the female at the rate of 340 per 100,000 persons of each sex respectively. It is just the converse in the eight unhealthy towns, for in them the male Pulmonary death- rates exceeds the female by about an eighth. The exact numbers arc 862 in each ioo,coo males and 76^ in each 100,000 females. Ihus the insalubrious influence in these towns act most powerfully on the male population, a circum- stance which appears to show that the cause of the unhealthi- ness of these places does not exclusively consist in the unwholcsomeness of dwellings.
