3156 VICTIMS IN 1907
Pneumonia Is Close Second-OnIy
Decrease of Five Against 1906,
with Growing City Pop
uiation

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. March 10
tuberculosis of the lungs, which for
the last year loomed up each week as
one of the principal causes of death in
the board of health's mortality state
ment, now that the year 1907 has ended,
presents a list of victims for the entire
year that is staggering.
1t shows that, Notwithstanding the
advances which have been made in
victims for the last year were only
five less than in 1906.
During the year just closed 1856 per-
sons died from tuberculosis. In 1906
the record was 3161 persons.
According to officials of the health
bureau, the only comforting thought
that can be obtained by considering
the figures of the two years Is that the
disease has been kept down while the
population has been increasing.
Next to tuberculosis came pneumonia
and heart disease as the principal
causes of death. the former claiming
2725 victims in 1907 as against 2699 In
1906. Heart disease exceeded last
years record, claiming 2605 victims in
1907 as against 2296 in 1906.
Summer complaint, which yearly car
ries off hundreds OF infants, showed a
marked falling off, 1899 dying. COM
pared with 27,372 in 1906 Here again
the health officials point to the increase
of population, estimated to be about
30 900. as offsetting the increased num-
ber of deaths.
1t is estimated that the number of
births during the last year was $4,000.
In 1906 they numbered 81, 1853.

cipal causes of death during the year
