In connection with the Sanitary In

by DR.. Alexander Hill, master of
Downing College and vice chancellor Of
Cambridge University. on Unnatural
Death" He remarked that it was not
the dangers Of railway travelling. nor
the few murders that occurred, which
brought down the average longevity of
human life from 100 years to fifty
years. They must seek for more subtle
murderers than that. Every year 9OO.-
600 babies were born in England and
Wales. If they took 100000 children.
of them, they would find that 10000
died Q violent death by accident, about
the same number would succumb to the
mysterious disease which they knew
now to bs absolutely preventable, be-
cause due to germs Tuberculosis in its
many forms); about 10000 would die
from absolutely preventable causes,
such as smallpox, measles and scarlet
fever, only $1,000 would be allowed to
live out their natural lives. and nearly
one in twenty might expect to die be-
cause the machine was worn out
One-quarter of all the diseases which
destroyed life were absolutely prevent
able. If the practice Of hygiene were
only on a level with its theory the aver
age longevity would be raised at once
from fifty to sixty-fve. The greater
number Of diseases over which the In
had control were due to mis-
takes in eating and drinking. He d.
v.ded diseases into three classes, and
said they would never succeed in pre-
venting them until they had the co-ope-
Of the public. Every citizen
should have the same exact knowledge
of the causes and properties of prevent
able diseases that the medical officer
himself had. The infectious nature Of
was hardly realized twen-
ty years ago. About one-third Of the
cows in the country ere tuberculous,
