![Parish of St. Marp, Stoke Newington. REPORT OF MEDICAL OFFICER. Vestry Offices, Church Street, Stoke Newington, N., March, 1895. To the Members of the Vestry of the Parish of St. Mary, Stoke Newington. Gentlemen, The Report which I now have the pleasure of presenting to you deals with the vital returns of the parish for the last three quarters of the year ] 894, i.e., for that period of the year during which Stoke Newington existed as a separate sanitary area. I am also able to present the returns for the whole of the year in respect of some of the more important items. This is an advantage for the reason that the annual rates of some diseases, when calcu lated from returns extending over only the last three-quarters of the year, generally differ materially from those which are calculated from returns extending over the whole year—due to the fact that with certain diseases there is usually less or more prevalence during the first quarter than during any of the subsequent quarters. The general death-rate and the death-rates from infectious diseases have, on this account, been also worked out from the returns of the four quarters of the year, in order that they may justly be used for purposes of comparison with similar returns from other districts. a 1](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b17999625_0003.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
