Pulmonary tuberculosis Chief
Cause of Death in Government
Figures

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,
Bright's Disease, Apoplexy, Cancer,
Diabetes, and Appendicitis is increas-
ing while that from old age, bron-
chitis, commissions, peritonitis and
scarlet fever is decreasing.
TUBERCULOSIS LEADS.
The greatest death rate recorded
for any one disease in this year was
that from the pulmonary tuberculo-
sis. amounting to $50. Pneumonia
follows closely, with death rate of
39,O6S, exclusive of broncho pneu-
monia. The much dreaded cancer
shows steady growth. The death
rate figures 2,33O. These figures are
taken from statistics as compiled by
the U. s. Census Bureau, and they
are official. 1t is appalling to note
the great number of deaths resulting
from the diseases, deaths that in
many instances can be prevented by
timely and proper treatment; treat
ment that is found usually in the
hands of specialist, and treatment
that has been perfected by long and
continued experience in practice.
The local physician is of vast i'm
portance. He is always ever ready
and prompt but from his limited ex-
perience in the treatment of these
particular disease, he is probably not
sufficiently familiar to treat them as
scientifically as one who has grown
up in this particular special practice.
DR.. Rea as a specialist in these disea-
ses ranks high in favor. He has been
engaged in this particular line of
practice for nearly twenty years. He
is thoroughly familiar with the phases
of each disease and its condition Of
severity in the climates in which it is
more prevalent.
AS for instance-Kentucky, Tonnes
see, Louisiana, Mississippi and some
of the Coast States, where the alti-
tude is low, where the moisture is
exceedingly great, and where the at
mosphere is dense, the pulmonary di-
seases prevail. In the western states
in the high altitude of the middle
states, the percentage of pulmonary
disease is much less. In the Great
Lake region, such as Superior, HUI
ron and Erie, and in the Red River
Valley country, there is more tuber-
culosis than in the nearby High
lands. Some cures he has made:
