Typhoid Cases Compared.

Tho Same gradual rise is seen in the NOR
taiitv statistics of typhoid fever during the
civil war The highest death rate. Isl,
was not reached until May, 1862, the thir-
teenth month of the aggregation of the
troops when ,O92 men died of this disease,
and the fall of the rates was as gradual
az the rise On the other hand, the rise
IN 1SaS was sudden, the maximum rate,
All. being reached in September, when :E'"
men died of this disease but the fall during
the months Of October and November was
as notable as the rise, This sudden sup
nression of the disease, cannot be attributed
to an exhaustion of the Susceptibility of
the troops to attack from this 1eVer' as
suey only suffered at the rate of 1237 per
Thousand of strength, duHing the twelve
months, whereas the troops of the civil war
suffered at the rate of l9.tl per thousand.
1t can be attributed onty 70 the active pre-,
yentiye measures that were instituted and
especialIy to moving the troops to fresh
camp sites and to the greater care exer-
eised in the disposal OF eXcreta.
The average annual mortality from ty-
