WASHINGTON, May I, 1850.
To tie Medieal PyofessioN:-The various
medical associations and the medical pro.
fession will be glad TO learn that DIR. John S.
Billings, Surgeon U. S. Army, has consented
to take charge Of the keporr on the Mortality
and Vital Statistics OF the United States as
returned by the Eleventh Census.
As the United States has no system Of
| registration Of vital statistics, our census
affords the only opportunity Of obtaining
near an approximate estimate Of the birth and
death rates of much the larger part Of the
country, which is entirely unprovded with
any satisfactory system Of State and munich
pal registration. In view Of this the Census
Office will issue to the medical profession
throughout the country '.Physcian's Regis
ters" for the purpose Of Obtaining more accu-
rate returns OF deaths than it is possible for
the enumerators to make. 1t is earnestly
hoped that physicians in every part Of the
country will CO operate with the Census
Office in this important work. The record
should be kept from June I, 1889, to May 81,
1890. Nearly 10000 Of these registration
books were filled up and returned to the
Office in 1880, and nearly all Of them used
for statistical purposes. 1t is hoped that
double this number will be Obtained for the
Eleventh Census.
Physicians not receiving Registers can
obtain them by sending their names and ad.
dresses to the Census Office, and, with the
Register, an official envelope which requires
no stamp will be provided for their return
to Washington.
II all medical and surgical practitioners
throughout the country will lend their aid,
the mortality and vial statistics Of the
Eleventh Census will be more comprehensive
and complete Than they have ever been.
Every physician should take personal pride
in having this report as full and accurate as
it is possible TO make it.
II is hereby promised that all information
OBJ, aimed through this source shall be held
strictly confidential.
