    Man Inidag Bermandas ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH. To the Vestry of Bermondsey:— Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen. I have the honour of submitting my Twenty fourth Annual Report on the sanitary condition of the parish of Bermondsey. The period included is one of 52 weeks, beginning on the 1st day of January, and ending on the 30th day of December, 1899. The births were 27 less, and the deaths 261 more than the numbers recorded in 1898. The prevalent diseases of the zymotic class were diphtheria, summer diarrhœa and measles, all of which were attended by an increased mortality, especially among young children. Whooping cough was less fatal.
