    hundred and three deaths from Disease of the Heart. Of these the average duration of Hfe after Assurance was 12 years 8 months. The average expectation was 24.7a. The per centage on total mortality 7.90. Class VI.—Diseases of the Digestive Apparatus. I. Stomatitis, Gastritis, Enteritis. One example ^^o'^^titis Gastritis occurred of the first of these in the British Em- pire, in a carrier aged 28. It is called in the death certificate Inflammation of the Throat; but as there was no medical attendant, the true nature of the case is not certain. 71 Of Enteritis the British Empire has had two examples. The first in a female 43 years of age, of whose case we have no details. The second in a collector of rates aged 44. The illness lasted 11 days, and for the last 4 days is said to have been compli- cated with Pneumonia. Under this head the records of the Scottish Dutnbu- Widows' Fund present thirteen cases of Gastritis and I'^eaths Enteritis in the first period of 37 years. Of these two occurred between 20 and 30 ; two between 30 and 40 ; four between 40 and 50; three betwixt 50 and 60 ; two between 60 and 70. In the next 7 years (1853-9) nine more deaths occurred under this class. Of these three happened between 30 and 40 ; one between 40 and 50; three betwixt 50 and 60; one between 60 and 70; one between 70 and 80.
