 The party started up the narrow street, Frontenac and Tonti leading the way, asking and answering all

Those That Fall Easy Prey-Variou, : Unsanitary Conditions Cause 1 More Men Than Women Die of the Disease

The problem of checking the ravages of tuberculosis has brought sugges- tions from every corner of the globe, but as yet no system has come to the fore which has had any material eff.

 ly day passes but some physician or chemist announces to the world that he has a cure, but thus far all turn out to be failures in every sense. s
 Consumption is constantly growing and its inroads are most decisively shown among the Chinese. Indians and negroes. More men than women die from consumption, the proportion in the entire country being 10.7 per cent. for males and 10.3 per cent. for females
 In New York city the disparity is great CT, 13 per cent. for males and less than ten for females. For both sexes the consumption death rate is greatest for both men and women at ages above 25.
