The New York Tiulel has the following
interesting abatement concerning the prev
alcnce Of pneumonia and bronchitis in
that city:
"Another feature in the two diseases
named this season is that the ma Ority OF
those who have died from these causes
had passed the period Of early childhood,
whereas in ordinary winters one-half the
victims Of these maladies were young
children. As an illustration it may be
stated that the highest rate OF mortality
from this cause during tho present season
was shown in the last week in January,
when uinrty-thrre deaths took place. OF
this number only twenty nine were under
five years OF age; ten we're between the
ages OF forty and forty-ivc, and two were
between the ages vi seyCnly'livc aud
eighty. From the records Of the Bureau
oil Vital Statistics it is shown that indiyid-
uals suffering from children's diseases,
those Of old age and brokrn-down con-
stitutions arc most liable to pneumonia,
In hotels, boarding houses and crowded
tenement houses the same classes have
suffered severely. Aud still others, with
out reference to prediSposing conditions,
have suffered severely in the three classes
of dwellings named. The penitcntiary
and wOrkhuusCs on BIaCkwells Island
have produced largo number Of cases OF
such diseases. Hospitals and all the more
carefully conducted asylums have up
parently been more secure from pnCu'
m0nia than crowded tenement houses.
In the old tenement house districts Of tho
city, and in tho First, Fifth, Eighth aud
Ninth wards, the population has suffered
extensively. Pneumonia has not followed
in the samc direction with diphtheria in
all cases, nor does it appear to be oboying
the same natural laws. Certainly, diph'
iberia has prevailed to great extent in
the old districts, but has attained its
fullest degree OF fatality in the newer
localities OF the city. Pneumonia and
bronchitis arc more frequently generated
in unvcntiated bed rooms, restaurants,
school houses, halls or assembly rooms,
aud many young person has left heated,
fashionable resort to die Of pneumonia
within i've days, This is not seson OF
typhus or typhoid fever, and yet pnou;
m0nia has frequently been designated
typhoid.pnrumOnia. In order to guard
against pneumonia, the sleeping and liv.
ing rooms should be well ventilated aud
properly lighted, and sudden changes
from Oycr.hcated rooms to cold atmOs-
phcrG should in all eases be avoided"
