Extract

Part II of Dr. Tatham's decennial supplement to the 55th report of the Registrar-General, published in 1897, contained extremely valuable statistics relating to the relative death-rates and what are known as the “comparative mortality figures” of men engaged in different occupations. These statistics dealt not only with deaths from all causes in conjunction, but also from certain diseases; and the latter figures throw important light upon the influence of occupation on the mortality, for instance, from tuberculosis and cancer.
