    ^oroug§ of <$oue. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Medical Officer of Health FOR 1904. To the Sanitary Committee. Gentlemen,— I have the pleasure of presenting my Annual Report on the health of the Borough for 1904. The causes of ill health and of death vary a great deal from year to year, and among a small population, any exceptional incidence of disease becomes more evident than would be the case in a large town, by a rise in the total or in the zymotic death-rate. Bearing this in mind, it is satisfactory to be able to report that the general and the zymotic death-rate are both low. The diminution in the cases of enteric fever which I reported last year has continued, there being only 6 cases during 1904, as in 1903, compared with an average of 22 for the proceeding 10 years.
