,rhara has been a steady diminuton of con-
sumption in England during the last half'cen-
turv the mortality in 1853 being at the rate of
. OSi in each million. of the population while
IN 1890 II had diminished to 10S2 the rate or
decrease having been continuously maintained
IN to the present time. Medical authorities are
discussing the question to whether this de-
crease is due TO improved methods of treatment
or to general sanitation. the conclusion being
that both have their share in bringing about
the result. Inctpient phthisis Is much more de-
| cidedy recognized than formerly and its eli
matte and other treatment Is more prompt and
| thorough But more Intelligent attention is be-
slowed on general sanitation, the poor are bet
ter housed and care is taken that their abodes
are more whoesomely and ntegenty located.
