There were ninety-one deaths reported as

in the previous report This disease prevails
with great violence in many localities of west
ern Europe, especially In the cities. and to a
great extent in many western towns in this
country. The average age of those who died Of
this malady the past week was eleven years and
the average duration of the last sickness was
eight days
Lung troubles have declined to the normal
rate and do not. as yet, present any threaten
ing TEXTURES.
1.-THE decrease of the mortality among chill
dren under five years Of age is very decided,
and rs a consequence there were but thirteen
deaths of infants under one year old, whereas.

would have been about twenty-six Of those a
year old and about forty of those under five
years of age.
Nearly one-ffth of those who died we're
