The Grip is Declared to Be
Responsible For the Large
Number Of Deaths.

1T IS probable that in New York
state there are 1000 deaths a year from

the New York state department Of
health said today in referring to the
unusually large number Of deaths from
pneumonia. Doctors do not give
enough attention to the grip as con.
tributory cause in reporting deaths. So
it is impossible to give the exact fig.

The bulletin Of the health department
for January shows that 1870 deaths in
this state during that month were
caused by pneumonia. In the same
month in 1904 the number was 1.5ot
and in January, 1908, it was 1,133.
