The report of the New York state
board of health illustrates how com.
pletely medical science has mastered
one epidemic disease, smallpox, and
how little knowledge it has gained
as to the la grippe. The bulletin issued
estimates the total number of deaths
from all causes in that state for 1891 at
1885, SIS. This makes the death rate for
the year 1.4S per thousand of popula-
ton. Epidemic influenza is estimated
to have caused 5000 deaths during its
prevalence in March, April and May,
and 1000 deaths upon its temperance
in December. 1t was distributed uni,
fornly throughout the state.

TYPHUS RAGING IN NEW YORK.


sixty-Nine Cases Among tho Recently Ar
rived Russian Emigrants.
New YORK, Feb. 13-Fifty eight
cases of typhus came suddenly to tn
notice of the health officers in this city
Thursday. With the utmost spec
the patients were removed from
their surroundings and taken to
the hospital on North Branch
island. The lodging houses in
which they had been found were disin-
fected and everything possible was
done to prevent the spread of the dis
ease. Friday eleven more cases in
more or less violent form were dis
covered and as quickly quarantined.
Whether this is the end or not nobody
can say.
DR.. Cyrus Edison says it is the great
est and most sudden outbreak of
dangerous contagious disease ever
known in the history of New
York. 1t has not yet be-
come epidemic, being confined to
those Russian Hebrews who were
all subjected to the same influences and
to contact with one another on board
the steamship Massillia. But the great
est alarm is occassioned by the fact
that for the past week, while the
germs of the disease were de-
veloping in those now afflicted,
they mingled freely with hundreds
of their countrymen in the Jewish
quarter on the east side We're the
disease to develop in a single individual
there, outside of those who were on
board the Massillia, there would be
danger of most terrible epidemic.

Given an Overdose

The infant child of Joseph Pashelka.
a Polish resident of Winona, was killed
by having an overdose of an opiate
given to it. The medicine was in
tended for soothing, and was mixed
according to prescription written for
the child's grandmother ten years ago.
The child being restless was given a
dose equivalent to half of that taken
by an adult, and as it was only two
months old it went to sleep never to
awake again. The father blames the
druggist for putting up a wrong pre-
scription, but the physician who wrote
the prescription holds the druggist
blameless and says the medicine
should never have been given the child
without orders from phi ysician.
