An USHEALrAY Place Chicago
would BE a good place to I've IN if one
vas anxious to die early. From statistics
Just published, It appears that the number
OF deaths in nat Gig for The last sixteen
years has been 27,TS0 or an average Of
/ !Jl yearly. The greatest number Of
deaths during any one year occurred in
1891, the cholera year, when tie number
was 3.544. The mortality Of the presen,
year, however, is expected to surpass that
o:lhc cholera year. During the months
Of 1863 already passed, there have been
1905 deaths; and as tue most unhealthy
season is to come, it is estimated that the
number Of deaths before Januarr next will
reach eco This will be equal to about
one 35th Of the whole population Of that
city.
