! II will be noticed that mortality
from this dread disease is highest In
Washington county because of the
great granite industry there that
Chittenden county comes second, Rut-
land county third, while Bennington
and Franklin counties are tied for
fourth place in this unenviable rank
ing. The average for the state, in
Guiding the Washington county alb
normal figures, is 1871; without them
or the Chittenden county figures,
which are almost as unusually high,
the average for the twelve other coun-
ties is a shade over IL. AS a matter
OF fact, five of three counties are un-
der ~, and the other seven are over
1t. Franklin county is 1874. which is
one per cent higher than the average
for the whole state or almost two
per cent higher than the average for
the twelve counties freest from the
disease.
The Messenger has suggested sew
eral times before to the medical fra
ternity of Franklin county that 1t
would be a distinct public service If
the physicians in these fifteen towns
were to make something like an or
ganized study of local conditions with
regard to this disease and report their
collective opinion in some popular
form so that the people might know
whether this high death rate in
Franklin county was attributed to
climate or other natural conditions or
whether it was the fault of the peo-
pie themselves.
1t is not the general impression that
Franklin county is an unhealthy place
in which to live. On the contrary,
appearances, at least, indicate that 1t
is a favorable region. 1t may be
found that ignorance and neglect on
the part of some few people or some
definite class of people hereabouts
have resulted in giving the county a
rating in this table of mortality that
its natural conditions or its society
as whole do not deserve.
At any rate. the exact truth should
be known and some organized en-
deavor made to stop the evil respon-
sible for these high figures.
