WHAT DISEASE COSTS
Millions .SdUed If PreUentabie Kinds
Could BE Wiped Ont.

II all the cases of diseases which are classified
as preventabe by the Department of Health eoni5
have been prevented during the last four years
in New York City and the money wasted by failure
to prevent them could be distributed equally among
all the Inhabitants OF the city every man, woman
and child would be richer by something like 80
year, $40 all told. This estimate Is based upon
the investigation made during this summer by the
Committee on Congestion OF Population, which has
figured out that New Workers as individuals. apart
from their role Of taxpayers. lose from ss70oo0oO
10 100000 a year through sickness and death
caused by the so-called preventable diseases.
It is easy 70 estimate what amount would be
added annually the wealth OF each one Of the
four million If the total were distributed, but IL is
only mite the amount OF waste that has been
incurred by the individuals families that have
actually been affected by the contraction OF these
diseases.
refers only 10 the the individual or family
through sickness death both. It does not
take into the cost to the community. such
expenditures for hospitals orphanages and other
institutions partly devoted the care Of victims
of preventahle diseases
In making its estimate the committee. took from
the classification of preventable diseases as given
by the Department of Health. the following: Ty-
phoid fever, diphthera, smallpox, measles. scarlet
fever tuberculosis, diarrheal diseases, pneumonia
and broncho-pneumonia. Except in the cases of the
two latter diseases. the committee took the actual
number Of cases of preventable diseases occurring
in the city the basis for fits calculation of
age duration of sickness in each disease The aver
age duration of pneumonia and broncho- pneumonia
was computed from the reports of superintendent
OF hospitals and from standard encyclopedia Of
medicine and surgery The period of sickness thus
obtained and used the average varied from
seven days In diarrhesl diseases I'VE hundred I'm
cases of tuberculosis.
No value wss placed on the days of sickness of
persons under twenty. The value of mans life,
that IS. his prospective earnings II he died between
the ages OF twenty and sixty-nine, was put at
s2.eoo. womans life, 10 she died from prevent
able diseases between these ages, placed half
that figure. Males dying between FIVE and twenty
were valued in the calculation 81 900 and females
st $500, while death between birth and four years,
both male and female. estimated at 500.
The value of wages lost by males between the
ages Of twenty and sixty-nine is estimated az So
