sometime, when Its too late for me to use it."
When BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS
PLASTER was placed on the market about
ten years ago the doctors hope became a
fact. Because of the rare medicinal virtues
inherent in 1t, its rapid action and sure re-

acting plasters of former days, for all affec-
tions to which q plaster Is ever applicable.

deaths in the United States.

According to the last census, 756, ,S93
persons died in the United States during
1880. The death rate for. the whole
Union was, therefore, ISL to the 900.
This is a low rate, and yet it was much
higher than that given in 1870, which
was only IL. 8per 200, while the death
rate, according to the census of 1860, was
1875. F
But the apparent increase in 1880 was
due entirely 60 more complete returns Of
deaths, and even the figures for that
year cannot be regarded as accurate.
Except in a comparatively small number
of communities, vital statistics are not
gathered in the United States after q
scientific system The actual mortality
of the Union is probably somewhere be-
tween eighteen and nineteen per 1,0O0,
instead of little over fifteen. But that
is low rate as compared with European
countries. the death rate for the whole
of England having been 20.5 per thou
sand in 1880, and for Scotland 21.3 in
1873. u L i1.s.s-I -...5o, 3 .az5is
OF the 756, ,S9S deaths recorded in the
census returns, $40. 191 were OF whites,
out of a total white population of AS
4O2, go, and 116, 702 of negroes, out of a
total colored population of 6,752,S13.
The apparent death rate, therefore, was
14.74 among the whites, and IL. % among
the negroes. A greater relative mortal
ity among colored infants in the South
ern States largely explains the higher
negro death rate, which must be accepted
as proved, we suppose, since, deficient
as the mortality statistics among the
whites may be, there is good reason for
regarding the returns of negro mortality
as still more incomplete. 7ssT I

C0nSumptlon was, as always, the

Enteric or typhoid fever is also more
especiallya q disease of the country. rather
than the city, The better drainage which
ordinarily prevails in the large towns
makes them less liable to that fever than
the smaller communities and scattered
settlements, where necessary precautions
against the, pollution of the water sup
ply are not generally taken, and accu-
mutations Of filth in vaults and cesspools
are common. Malarial fevers, likewise
were more prevalent and more fatal,
proportionately, in the smaller COM
munities than IN the great cities. The
same was the case with diphtheria.
The great city, especially since the in
crease OF sanitary knowledge, has many
advantages over the country with re-
spect to health. 1t has crowded popu-
1ation, it is true, but its comparatively
confined air may be less injurious to the
inhabitants than that which sweeps
over an open country, where it may
