    Hospital in 1870; together with extracts from the Registrar-General’s Returns, showing the annual mortality per 1,000 persons living of the population of the Metropolis from scarlet, typhus and enteric fevers, and smallpox, and the average annual mortality per 1,000 of such population from those diseases for certain specified years before and since the establishment of the Managers’ Hospitals. Fever Chart, 1872-1888. A Fever chart, showing the monthly admissions of Scarlet, Enteric and Typhus Fevers, and Diphtheria patients from the date of the establishment of the Hospitals to 1888, inclusive, has also been prepared* (See p. 12.) Mortality at Various Ages. Tables have also been prepared, showing the mortality at various ages of 25,788 Scarlet Fever cases, 6,172 Enteric Fever cases, and 2,082 Typhus Fever cases that have been treated in the Managers’ Hospitals. These returns and tables will be further referred to under their respective sections. Additional Annual Reports. Your Committee have included in the present volume the Annual Reports of the Ambulance Committee and the Committee of Management of the Training: Shin “ Exmouth.” These will, vour Committee believe, increase the utility of the volume, and will be of considerable convenience to the Managers, who will find it easier to refer to the particulars of work done in any or all of the various departments than was possible when the Reports of each establishment were published separately. Revision op Tables. In consultation with Dr. Bridges, Local Government Board Inspector, and the Medical Superintendents of the Managers’ Asylums and Infectious Hospitals, your Committee have carefully revised the system of tabulating the annual statistics of patients treated at those Institutions. Most of the revisions effected will be referred to hereafter under the headings of the statistical tables. Your Committee propose to offer remarks upon the following sections of the volume I. Fever—-Medical Superintendents’ Annual Reports (pp, 29 to 44). Statistics (pp. 56 to 73).
