DEATH RATE AND DISEASE
tuberculosis and Pneumonia at
Top of List of Fatal Affections.
Army Of Cancer Victims Growing
Disease Takes Seventh Place in
United States-Moltality Table.

Washington, D. C.-Out Of only
two-ffths of the population of the
United States more than half a million
lives were offered up in 1905 as 3
sacrifice to disease. Startling as
this death rate may seem it was less
than that for the preceding year, but
was in excess of the number OF
deaths registered for any other year.
The death rate from nephritis and
Bright's disease, apoplexy, cancer,
diabetes and appendicitis Is i~ncreas.
ing, while that from old age, bron.
chitis, convulsions, p%eritonitis and
scarlet fever is decreasing.
The greatest death rate recorded
for any n disease in 1905 was that
from ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, amount.
ing to 56,770, while pneumonia fol-
ows closely with a death rate of &c..
96S, exclusive Of broncho-pneumonia.
The much dreaded cancer shows a
steadily growing death rate, the
igures being 24,330.
The above are the more interesting
facts brought out in a report issued
oy the Census Bureau, giving the sta
tistics of mortality for 1905, The
statistics in. this report are restricted
to States in which the laws requiring
the registration of deaths have been
accepted as giving practically COM
plete mortality returns and to cities
in non-registration States in which
satisfactory returns are required by
the local authorities.
This registration area in 1905 con-
sisted Of ten registration States, the
District of Columbia and 1913 regis
tration cities in non-registration
States. The ten registration States
were Connecticut, Indiana, Maine,
Massachusetts,, Michigan, New Hamp-
shire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode
Island and Vermont. The population
of the entire area in 1900 was 30
765,61S, representing 40.5 per cent.
Of the total population of the United
States.
The total number of deaths report
ed from the various kinds of diseases
in 1905 aggregated 545,533, and
those for the preceding year amount
ed to 551,S54. On a percentage ba-
sis the death rate was in 1905 1872
in each 1000 of, population. The fol-
lowing figures show the death rates
per 1000 of the registration States
for 1905:
Connecticut, 1876; District of Co.
lumbia, 20.5; Indiana, 1913; Maine,
1872; Massachusetts, 1853; Michigan,
1875; New Hamshipre, II; New Jer-
sey. 15.S; New York, II; Rhode ISL
and, III, and Vermont, II.
The causes, with their rates, to
which twenty or more deaths per
1000 of population we're attributed
in 1905, ranked, according to nun
Der of deaths per 100000, are as fol-
lows: tuberculosis of lungs, 1852;
pneumonia, 1901; heart disease,
1925; diarrheoa and enteritis, 116.7;
nephritis and Bright's disease. 114.3;
apoplexy, 72.2; cancer, 72.1; acciden-
tai t~raumatisms, AL; old age, 1874;
meningitis, 34.5; bronchitis, 33.5;
premature birth, 32.9; c~ongenital de-
bility, 31.5; typhoid fever, 2S.1, and
diphtheria and Group, 2S.S.
Cancer ranks seventh among the
various causes Of death. OF the a.
$50 deaths from this disease, 91S9
were of males, while 1914 were of
females.

"I have a cousin in Rockingham Co. who once had . skin disease from her birth until she was six years of age. Her father had spent a fortune on her to get her cured and none of the treat ments did her any good. Old Dr. C. suggested that he try the Cuticura Rem edies which he did. When he oom- menced to use it the child was almost in solid scab. He had used it about two months and the child was well. Twas there when they commenced to use your Cuticura Remedies Istayed that week and then returned home and stayed two weeks and then went back and stayed with them two weeks longer and when went home could hardly believe she was the same child.
