Data Concerning Nariou, Di,en.es

An advance reprint from the annual re-
port OF the Michigan state board OF health
consists OF paper by Erwin r. Smith, IL
which tine author has collected data from
various cities severed and unse wered 10th

four to thirty, the population, the aRnua.

typhoid fever and from diphtheria am
Group, with the ratio per IL, eOO of the living
From these tables he draws the following
conclusions, which, it may be remarked, are
fully Uorne out by q study of similar dats
III Chicago:
First CHOLERA and typhoid fever decrease
in proportion as the city Is properly severed
To this proposition there were no exceptions
As regards cholera, his conclusions are that
unsewerei cities suffer severely, while
severed either escape or suffer chiefly in tine
unsewered districts Localities subject to
typhoid lever GSe the ones likely to BE-
visited by cholera, and pure and abundant
water supply is great safeguard Second,
that there Is no direct relation between
diphtheria and sewers, and that dIphtheria
is not, properly speaking, ~tlta disease, J"
but that it should rather be classified with
small pox, arlet fever, and other diseases
which spread by contagion. Third, that the
general death rate falls after the sewering :
OF q city, and, other things being equal,
never reaches the mailman OF its ante
sewer condition His final conclusion is
that the introduction Of sewerage systems
and water supply systems into cities Is the
soundest social and imam, ial economy be-
cause, along with greater freedom from
sickness and conse quent important saving OF
time and money, It insures TO the individual
a greatly increased ability to earn money
and because the lives which are saved each
year increases 10y so much the total popula-
ton, and consequently the total bread win
