Debility opens the door to disease Nor is this

BILE intruder has entered, physical prostration
ders its progress to the citadel of life comparative

morbid and unwholesome. This is barring the

their obtaining an entrance into the system. The

vanqsishes fever and ague, rheumatism, bilious

Great Britain and Ireland.

It appears that the census return for
Great Britain and Ireland, a. heretofore
published, are not quite accurate. The
enumeration Of the people was made all
over the United Kingdom on one and the
same day, namely, April 8, 1871. The re-
vised returns show some errors. Thus,
It has hitherto bean set down that the en-
tire population Of the British Isles, in
I8l, was s, Sl7 Jos, against 29,O70, 932 in
1901 whereas 1t was tribe less, namely
81, Us .3e6. These returns show that Ire
land had decreased 6.7 per cent, in the
last ten years. The United States popu-
lation, by the census of 1870, was IS. $685.
9S3, IS against that Of 1850, which was
81. 443,321 but 1t must be remembered
that within that decade were four wears of
very destructive civil war, which must
have swept away nearly two millions of
able-bOdied men. Without this depletion
our population in 1870 would have been
5000, 900 greater than that of England in
1871. The corrected census returns show
the area of South Britain England and
Wales) to be 81 ,3l9, 221 statute acres. 1t
had bean variously estimated at from D.
O00,000 to 10000, 600, but the above is tie
