THE clTYs HEALTH.

THERE IS NO OCCASION for alarm
among the people of Salt Lake be-
cause Of the unusually large number
of deaths reported by the health de-
partment for February. 1903. as COM
pared with the corresponding month
Of last year. A survey of the report in
dicates that a liberal proportion Of
the deaths was caused by chronic dis
eases. These were inevitable, but they
make the death rate seem higher.
Fatalities from pneumonia were more
numerous than last year. but this is
accounted for by the weather to a
large extent. Last year the weather
during February contained a high per-
centage Of sunshine. February OF this
year was darker. the air was more
humid and the cold more penetrating
than for several years. a gratifying
decrease i'm the number Of infectious
and contagious diseases, as compared
with previous years, is reported. This
constitutes the real test Of the city's
health.
And even with the rate at 1928 per
1000 of population in February. 1908,
as against a rate of 1924 for February.
1902. salt Lake is far healthier than
most Of the other cities Of its size in
the United States Indeed. at the high
er rate. it ranks I'm the first twenty
having the lowest death rates. Every
thing considered, The Herald repeats
that there is no occasion for alarm.
The death rate may now be expected
to decrease steadily until next winter.
The month of February. the last Of
the winter. is nearly always hardest
on those who suner from chronic dis
eases. Such people almost invariably
improve after the middle Of March and
continue TO improve until the cold
weather again gives them a setback.
In an there were eighty three deaths,
twenty-eight Of them being Of children
under 8 years Of age and sixteen Of
persons between As and IS years Of
age.
The birth rate shows that Salt Lake
could continue to have as many deaths
without serious danger Of extinction.

toxin would be ready for general prac-
teal use by the end Of this year. Tt is
greatly to be hoped that DR.. Flexner's
confident predictions viii prove well-
founded.
The census statistics OF 1900 show
that during the last six months of 1899
and the first six months Of 1900. cover

were of children of 8 years Of age and
under. OF these children 38.705. or
more than - per cent. were killed By
cholera infantum and closely allied dis
eases. no other disease Of childhood
even approximately approached this
appalling total In mortality.
The value Of the discovery of an anti
toxin for the cholera infanum germ
or bacillus is apparent from the ng-
ures that have been presented. And.
be IL understood. they cover one year
only. It may be said with truth that
hundreds Of thousands Of children have
died from cholera infantum. the most
reacherous and fatal disease with
which the physician is called upon to
battle. The malady is more dreaded by
doctors and mothers than any other In
the entire category
Should it prove true that an anti
toxin has been found, thousands Of
lives win be saved by It, Time was
when diphtheria was considered a prac-
tically ineurable disease, An anti toxin
for the diphtheria germ has been dis
covered and the mortality percentage
has been reduced until diphtheria no
longer alarms the doctor who reaches
the case in time TO treat It with anti
toxin. Tt is reasonable to hope that the
same thing may be said before long
about cholera infantum.
