Note 108 — Chapter III · PUBLIC HEALTH MISSIONARY FOR INDIA (1868–1872)
Reading edition
According to the Sanitary Blue-book for 1869–70, the death-rates per 1000 were: Bombay 19.2, London 23.3, Calcutta 31.9, Liverpool 36.4. In 1910 the order was very different: London 12.7, Liverpool 17.7, Calcutta 23.0, Bombay 35.7. In four years (1864–8) the death-rate in Bombay had fallen from 31.3 to 19.2; the rise in modern times is due to the industrialization of the town.
