    Amblecote Irban District Council. ==ij^= Annual Report OF THE Medical Officer of Health, For the Year ending December 31st, 1922. Gentlemen, I beg to present my Annual Report for the year 1922. The Report is much on the same lines as that of previous years, and is in accordance with the instructions of the Ministry of Health. The Vital Statistics are satisfactory, especially with regard to the Death-rate, which is lower than any I have previously reported, and considerably below the average of the previous five years. The Infantile Mortality is also satisfactory, but is not so good as that of 1921. The difference is due to the very low birth-rate. There were 20 fewer births than in the year 1921. As regards the seven principal Zymotic Diseases, the death-rate in Amblecote is very satisfactory.
