The per cent of deaths from zymotic diseases
is less than last year, which is regarded as salts
factory proof that the present year has been
more healthful The usual death rate from this
class of diseases is about 80 per cent. of the
whole mortality. Diphthera prevailed in fifty
one counties, with 727 reported cases. 300 of
which resulted fatally. making 2.07 per cent. of
the total mortality, against Al per cent. in
1882. The deaths from intestinal diseases were
3.45 per cent. while last year it was IL. The
decrease was probably due, the secretary says
to the cool summer, but he adds that it was the
observation OF many physicians that a tendency
to cholera dlarrhea existed during July and Au-
gust.
There was smallpox In thirty-one counties,
and of a total of 644 cases 213 died. "Ths loss
of life Dr. Elder says, equal to 1.42 per cent
of the total mortality, is an opprObium upon in
tellgeuce and industry in this age of clviIza-
ton He speaks OF the disease as a "loathsOme,
repulsive and unnecessary disease that owes its
existence and prevalence TO filth, squalor and
wretched ny gienic surroundings"
There were 2,540 cases of constitutional dis

the fatality through the United States from this
cause was about 2 per cent. of the mortality.
In Indiana it is shown that the deaths are slight
" below the average. "This," DR. Elder says
sis gratifying, for situated our State is, al
most entirely in the valley of the Mississippi. the
surface nearly level and subject to uch violent
changes in temperature, with so much moisture
in the atmosphere, pulmonary troubles are of
more than usual prevalence and fatality, it is
said. L am unable to refute the charge
hut the results of two years of STATISTICS
justlfies the statement that it iH uDfounded. The
average fatality in Massachusetts for ten year
was 5 per cent. of the mortality, and in New
Hampshire 1919. Arguments have been ad-
duced in favor of the view that the disease Is
contagious; but, while these questions nm de-
oded it is safe to say that pulmonary tubercu-

stitutiOnaI classes of diseases. Caution should
therefore, be observed in assOciating the pa
tients with children ana persons of feeble vital
ity. They should not be permitted to inhale the
breath of the diseased of this class and the sputa
should be promptly disinfected, while the cloth

be destroyed
