OVARIAN DISEASE 243 CHAPTER VI. OVARIAN DISEASE IN ENGLAND, AND THE CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE OPERATION OF OVARIOTOMY. The last report of the Registrar-General, the forty-second, is dated 1881, and gives the returns for 1879. In that year the estimated population of England and Wales was 25,165,336; the number of females 12,917,057, which we may practically regard as 13,000,000. The number of deaths from all causes in the whole population was 526,255; among females only, 254,759. The number of deaths entered as caused by ovarian or encysted dropsy has varied considerably in successive years. During the five years 1876-80 it rose for three years, attaining the highest point in the third year, then again declined, and in 1880 once more went up. The registration stands thus: for 1876, 327 deaths from ovarian dropsy, 73 after ovariotomy; for 1877, 355 disease, 96 operation; for 1878,367 disease, 99 operation; for 1879, 255 disease, 88 operation; and for 1880, 298 disease, 86 operation. The report for 1880 is not yet on sale to the public, but Dr. Ogle has obligingly furnished me with the numbers. Dr. Farr, in his letter to the Registrar-General on the causes of death in 1878, as published in the forty-first annual report, says that the...
