register of vital statistics of the health
department, says that there has been a
large increase in the number of deaths
from pneumonia and grip in the last
week as compared with the same week
in 1899. During this period the deaths
from both causes in the two years were
as follows:
Grip-Borough of Manhattan, 1899, IL;

continued the docotr (which is rather
high. The death rate was not SO high
IN January, but February was very bad
The total number of deaths in Feb
ruary last year was 1,751, and in Feb
ruary this year, 1909. There was nc
decided increase in the death rate in
Brooklyn up to February 1, and then it
shot up. This increase in February is
due to the prevailing weather condi-
lions. The weather has been not only
damp, but of a comparatively low tenn
perature, raw, which is of good QUALITY
for the development of lung troubles
I'VE had grip last year early in the
winter up to February 1, and after that
not a dozen cases. This week we hav,
had 1872 deaths up to noon Wednesday
which shows there is no drop and gives
about the same proportion of deaths
from grip and pneumonia as last week.
