Watkins. were of no avail in fixing the site of Poe's birthplace and as a last resort I examined the old tax lists of Boston, which are now stored in the cells of the old Tombs, in the basement of the old courthouse. In the list of 1908 was found the name of David Poe, actor. I then went to the registry of deeds in Pemberton Square. There I found that there was deed of a dwelling in New Carver street in which the Poes were living at the time of the poets birth

Total number Tuber- Pneu-

Tuberculosis and pneumonia are the leaders in the causes of death. It will be noticed from the proceeding table that death from tuberculosis. fle fig ures included the disease in all it's forms) has been steadily decreasing during the last ten years and that death from pneumonia has been stead fly increasing. This statement is based on the fact that the city has increased S0,000 in population during that time, or about 40 per cent. The number of cases of tuberculosis is less in 1908 than in 1899, when the number of cases of pneumonia was about 50 per cent of the number of cases of tuberculosis In 1907 the, number of cases of pneumonia exceeded those of tuberculosis by p in spite of the fact that in that year the cases of tuberculosis was the larg- est in the history of the city,
 Of course the number of deaths from different diseases varies in different years without regard to any increase in population. No ten years can be ta- ken as basis upon which to establish a certain rate of increase in the death rate but it certainly does increase with the population and every disease should be affected in the same way if the rule is to be regarded. Tubercu- losis has ertainly decreased as a cause of death and pneumonia has increased in a much greater ratio. Various req sons are offered to account for these conditions but the principle cause of fered by the medical fraternity is that people are better fed as a mass and are better informed as to the proper care to bestow upon the body and lastly and most important of all, the increased attention paid to the doc Urine of fresh air. Under existing con- ditions it is reasonable to suppose pneumonia will soon outstrip tubercu- losis as a cause of death and will be the source of as much alarm and dis cussion as tuberculosis is as present
 In view of several sO-callled epi- denies during 1908 the following com parison although for only two years will be of interest,"
