    Poplar 1893 POP B1 ANNUAL REPORT of the MEDICAL 0FFICER OF HEALTH for BOW DISTRICT, Comprising the Parish of St. Mary Stratford-le-Bow. To the Members of the Poplar District Board of Works. Gentlemen, I have the honor to submit my annual report as Medical Officer for the North or Bow District, together with the reports of the Sanitary Inspectors of that district, and the report of the Inspector of Nuisances in Manufactories, so far as it concerns the parish of Bow. It should be borne in mind that the period reviewed by this report is for the twelve months ending the 31st December, 1893, and that the statistics and the tables, prepared according to the requirements of the Local Government Board, cover the same period. While these statistics refer only to the parish of Bow, consequent upon the arrangements of the sanitary districts which took place last year on the 1st of April, Bromley then being joined to Poplar for sanitary administrative purposes, leaving Bow solely to my care, the parish of Bromley was for the first three months of 1893, under my super vision, and the statistics for that period relating to Bromley are given separately. The annual death rates for Bromley I am, therefore, un able to present to you. In comparing the figures of work done, or mortality rates, or diseases statistics, with those in my last report, it must not be forgotten that this alteration in the areas should be taken into account, otherwise the comparisons will be misleading and totally inaccurate.
