THE CITY's HEALTH.
The Death Rate for the First Six Months
of the Year.

of the Year.
The general health of the city is reported
good by Health Officer Drummer, but the
death rate for the first six months of this
year slightly exceeds that of the correspond
ing period last year, and is due to the fatal
ity among children from diseases of the
stomach and bowels, which is accounted for
by the long drought which swelled the NOR
tuary list.
The deaths for the first six months OF
1883 numbered 1873 waite and 326 colored a
total of 500, while for the first six months
of 1883 the deaths we're lS9 of whites and
800 of colored, total of 5lS, being an
increase over the mortality OF the first six
months of 1888 of whites and colored.
This Increase was due to the months of
May and June, which were so fatal to chill
d en-, 30 white and 40 colored children under
one year of age dying in those months
During the month of May the deaths under
10 years We're, whites 2G. colored 81, a total
of 63, and for June there were % white and
p colored children under 10 wears, a total

tally however, is much below June, 1886.
when there were l19, and is also below that
Of June, 1887, when there were las deaths.
Savannah, however, continues to main
tain a low death rate by comparison with
the cities of its size, for while its population
is steadily increasing, the mortality has
been steadily decreasing, aud the epidemic
of bowel complaints among children has
wiped out the balance to the credit Of this
year at the close of April. 1t is believed.
however, that the rains have washed away
the poisonous sacretions from the streets
and lanes, and that there will be decreased
fatality among infants for July, as there
was in June over May, there being de,
crease of 16 deaths of children under 10
years.
tDr Drummer says, that it is fact worthy
of note, that for the first six months Of
1899, there have been only Is deaths from
malarial and typhoid fevers, and one of
those cases was imported OF these, 9 were
whites ard colored. This report will
compare with that of any city for a low
fever rate
