much as 15 p.c; cases of Acute Rheumatism were also less than usual, while diseases of 

 the Kidney and of the Digestive system were very slightly in excess. The weather 

 record for the same period shows it to have been the wettest of the six, and at the same 

 time we may notice that this epidemic was marked by a greater excess of Respiratory 

 disorders than any of the others. 



The table for the 13 weeks of 1891 shows that the total Respiratory cases were not 

 nearly so numerous, although the cases of Pneumonia were again much above the 

 average. The total admissions were 75 p.c. above the normal for the year, the Respira- 

 tory cases 11 p.c, Pneumonia 55 p.c. and Pleurisy 25 p.c. The admissions for diseases 

 of the other systems correspond very closely to those noted in the previous epidemic.
