 Health of the State.
 The report of the State Board of Health for the last month says: "The prevalent type of disease during March was similar to that of the three preceding months, lung fever and acute lung affections the insidious form either commencing or accompanied with diffused bronchitis the most frequent ly encountered, the mortality large, the ratio showing no decrease. There has perhaps been more marked consolidation of the low CT lobes of the lung, but the severity of the cases was not indicated by the amount of consolidation in this variety. A few cases of double pneumonia with extensive areas of dulIness have been mentioned, almost inva- riably fatal. The changeable weather and the resulting exposures have caused coughs, colds, acute congestion of the lungs and acute catarrhal affections to be almost epi demic. Capillary bronchitis has been rife among children with rather a higher death rate usual Among unusual diseases Dr. Kelsey reports a fatal case of tetanus or I-11 aI, after the disease was thoroughly estab- ished. Dr. Thompson relates fatal case of abscess of the liver.
 "Epldemlc diseases appear to have been very frequent of various types, that is those forms that readily spread over whole com munities First in the list naturally comes smallpox. This has appeared in Waterbury and four cases resulted fatally. Considera- ble excitement was caused by the disregard of quarantine by one of the members of family in which there was case of smallpox, but as he had to walk quite distance before encountering anyone the danger was not as great The carelessness of nurses and at- tendants upon smallpox patients in mingling with other people without change of gar ments and cleansing hands and face has of ten resulted in a spread of the disease, as one until trial One case is reported to have occurred in an adjacent town from exposure to these cases in Waterbury. A case also occurred in Manchester, but by prompt quarantine no other cases resulted. In Unionville, in somewhat crowded locality, eleven cases, most of them mild, occurred and since there have been a few more, all in one locality. The cases in Waterbury were all of persons not vaccinated and several deaths ensued. have not learned definitely concerning the cases in Unionville. Previous to the appear ance of smallpox in Waterbury there had been localized epidemic of scarlet fever as shown by the mortality from that cause. Scarlet fever is also reported from Oxford, imported in the first instance, Thomaston of very light type, Avon, Salisbury, Willing ton, Fairfield and Canton usually not malig nant. Quite number of cases of roseola are reported from South Britain, while an extensive epidemic of measles is reported from Salisbury. Some cases are also men toned in Manchester.
 Three deaths from membranous croup, or rather diphtheritic croup, are reported from New Canaan, and several cases of diphtheria, also quite number of towns report the ex- istence of croup and diphtheria, and several whooping cough, but not widespread.
 Typhoid fever is stated to be prevalent in one town; some five or six cases and mala- | rial fever begin to rsappear decidedly in spite of the cool weather.
 In mentioning unusual cases, that of fa- | tai case of cyanosis in child thirteen days old, reported by Dr. Garlick, was omitted ; no symptoms singularly enough were shown until the child was ten days old. Autopsy | showed that the foramen ovale in the heart | was not closed so that the venous and arterial blood mingled.
 The prevalence and diffusion of various forms of zymotic disease is peculiarly | marked In general the sanitary history of the month has been unfavorable, the lung | troubles are reported stubborn and the | death rates are generally high.
