A Chicago writer refers to pneumonia
as "the new captain Of DEATH and says
consumption. which had long claimed that
tue has been superseded by "a quicker
and deadlier scourge,'
Il Really, It does seem that pneumonia IS
growing into direful prominence In most
Of the large cities north Of u.s. IN B Bait
more. the number OF deaths caused by
pneumonia in 1908, was 1,1o1 while tu-
berculosls claimed 1,ls6. In Chicago,
rr eumonia has been deadlier than tuber-
crloss. In New York, last year, the NUM-
her Of deaths from pneumonia was 1851;
tho mortality being is per cent. Of tho
cases under treatment. In St. Louis,
Cleveland, Plttsburg, Philadelphia and
Boston. the pneumonia death rate has
been alarmlngly large.
1t seems that a most radical difference
between the two diseases is that pneumo-
MIA is extraordinarily rapid in its work
end that It's victims seldom lasts a month.
