The Influence of social conditions upon diphtheria, measles, tuberculosis and whooping cough in early childhood in London

The large numbers of deaths registered from these four diseases in the age group 0–4 years in the Metropolitan Boroughs alone between 1931 and 1938, together with the deaths recorded under bronchitis and pneumonia, are set out in Table 1.
