Consum ptiou.

Statistics prepared by the American Medical Asso-
citation represent that in the city of Boston, during The
three years from 1916 to S49 there 6,8SS deaths
from consumption alone. while in the period the
deaths from typhus fever were on 1895, and those
from dysentery only 1906 In The FIVE years from
1874 to 1S49 there We're in Massachusetts l3,004
deaths from diseases of the respiratory system-30 per
cent of the whole mortality. In Lowell, in every
10000 deaths, $500 from lung diseases. Accord
ing to the lately published registration Of mortality IN
Massachusetts, there in 1919, ,634 deaths from
disease OF the respiratory organs greater number,
by thousands, than caused by the diseases OF any
other set of organs
1t will be seen from statistics like these that con-
sumption is very properly called the Scouge of New

and infectious diseases combined have been, and
will probably never be- such causes of death as this

Causes of Insanity.

The more ordurry causes of insanity such as Pc
cuniay difficulties, disappointment in love, religious
excitement, grief ntemperance. and excessive Joy, are
generally well understood. Bat, in a report OF the
Bethem Hospital, England, we find some causes
signed which, to say the least, curious and almost in
credible. Thus, two men became mad from fear of
the cholera two women from living with insane per-
sons; one from attending a singing class one from
terror at the Partisan revolution Of 1913, and
from the excitement OF travelling, for the first time, in
railroad car. In several insanity resulted from
bodily sickness. Three men became craZed from ex-
Posure 10 hot sun. One poor fellow went mad from
excessive sea sickness. Generally women are more
liable 10 hereditary insanity than males and it's known
that their sedentary occupations render them more sub
lect to it, from most causes than the other sex In
the Bethlem Hospital, during year, twelve females
were admitted who had gone mad from love; but
