Table showing, for the BOROUGH OF LEICESTER during the years 1838-1910, in quinquennial periods, the average annual death-rate from each of the seven principal zymotic diseases per million living, and the percentage of the deaths from each of those diseases to the deaths from all of them, with the average annual registered vaccinations to 10,000 births.*

GRAPH H.
ILLUSTRATING TABLE 43. (see. Appendix). LEICESTER—ZYMOTIC MORTALITY. 1838—1910.
This Graph shows :—
(1)  The average annual death-rate per million population from the seven principal zymotic diseases, with the relative proportion of deaths from each disease, in quinquennial periods 1838-1910.
(2)    The average annual registered vaccinations to 10,000 births.
(3)    An unprecedented increase of zymotic mortality coincident with the highest vaccination period 1868-72;  and
(4)  A marked decline of zymotic mortality also coincident with the decline  and practical   abandonment of vaccination subsequent to 1872.
