ComsumpliOn.
Statistics prepared by the American
Medical Association represent that in the
city of Boston. during the three years from
1916 to 1919. there were 6.SSS deaths,
from consumption alone. while in the same
period the deaths from typhus fever were
only 2,S26, and those from disentery only
l,606. In the FIVE years from 1s44 to
ls49 there were in Massachusetts, 1901
deaths from diseases of the respiratory sys-
tem-30 per cent, Of the whole mortality.
In Lowell, in every 10000 deaths. $500
are from lung diseases. According to the
lately published registration of mortality
in Massachusetts,, there werein 1919, 4.634
deaths from diseases ofthe respiratory or
gans; greater number. by thousands. than
were caused by the diseases Of any other
Set Of organs.

that consumption is very properly called
the "Scourge Of England" smallpox. and
all other epidemic and infectious. diseases

ably never be, such causes Of death as this
one disease of consumption.
