that the deaths from consumption
throughout Europe are estimated at
more than million annually. In Eng
land and Wales alone more than GO.0OO
people die of the disease every year.
and this annual mortality exceeds by
10000 all the rnvages of the BLACK
Death during the time OF the Great

In English history. tuberculosis Is IN

most favorable conditions of soil. In
tuberculosis the exposure to infection
is usually but by no means so certain
