This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1855 Excerpt: ...of the last 5 years 19 men have left who had served between 40 and 50 years. But though the work is not detrimental to men of average constitutional strength, of fair muscular development, and with sound organs of breathing and circulation, it is quite the contrary with jjersons of impaired health, or who are undersized in stature, or weakly framed.

It will be seen that out of 20 deaths in the Department, including clerks, 10, or exactly half, have been victims of consumption. That this is a very large proportion of deaths from this disease is proved by the fact, that while the total number of deaths in the city of London during the year 1857 was 2,942, but 356 of that number, or less than one eighth part, were caused by phthisis. Very nearly the same proportion obtains for the whole metropolis; where, on an average of 17 years, the deaths from decline were 13 '173 to every 100 deaths. Of the deaths from all causes of persons aged 20 years (which is about the average age at which persons enter as officers of this department) and upwards in London, the proportion of those dying from phthisis is 18 1 per cent, on an average of three years, 1853-55. In all of the 10 fatal cases whose history during life I was enabled to investigate, the disease proved to be hereditary; showing that if proper care had been taken on the application of those ...
