Statement No. VII. equally speaks for itself. It merely enumerates the diseases
against which deaths have been recorded.
Statement No. VIII. shows the causes of invaliding. It will be observed that in the
aggregate 264.9 in very 1,000 are invalided from old age or incapacity, not the result of any
specific disease. General debility contributes a still higher ratio, 350.9 in every 1,000. Th

* This case was one of sudden death, and the causes were under investigation at the close of the year.
