    Chatham has not kept any record of the deaths, as “ deaths from syphilis have always been entered under the heading of ‘ all other diseases.’ ” Sheerness.—“ No record of deaths from syphilis. Disease almost unknown here.” Cork.—“No record of the deaths from syphilis. Of this I am, however, satisfied, that during the period specified they have been very few and far between.” Winchester and Dover have no record of deaths from syphilis. Windsor.—11 The number of deaths attributed to syphilis is so small (e'.a., there has not been one so registered in Windsor this year) and bears so uncertain a proportion to the deaths really due to that cause, that I have not thought it worth while to tabulate them separately.” Woolwich.—No returns, because “no medical officer for Woolwich previous to 1889.” No information has been received from Aldershot, Colchester, Shorncliffe, Canterbury, or the Curragh. r,\ii .f o' ■ ! • ■ • • ..liJGO.: •• ■ .. . ■ ' Thomas bbakell limited, Liverpool.
