INCREASE EXPECTED
IN INFANT MALADY
This Years Victims Doubt
less Will Outnumber
Those of 1909.

There were during the past year 569
deaths in this country from infantile
paralysis, l16 from pelIagra. % from
rabies, and . from Ieprosy, according TO
information just given out AT the Cen
sus Office
The present year, II is believed Will
snow q great increase in infantiIe
paralysis and peilagra, though a very
small. if any, increase in the mortality
from rabies and leprosy.
There was only one death last year
IN Washington from infantiIe paralysis,
whereas Maryland reported 4 Nassa-
ChUsetts. 81, Of which q were in Bos-
ton; Pennsylvania, 76. OF which S were
in Philadelphia, and New York. Il5. Of
which - were in New York city.
This disease among children is con-
nned almost entirely to the whites. only
seventeen Of the total occurring among
negroes The paralysis does not seem
particularly TO affect the larger cities.
but is incident largely TO the smaller
communities
The statement Of the Census Bureau
states that no statistical segregation
OF infantile paralysis as a cause Of
death has been made heretofore, but
the Increasing Importance Of the dis
ease and its wide prevalence through
out the country in the form Of local
epideInics render a statement Of the
mortality necessary
Speaking Of peIlagra, the bureau
says
-Pellagra is a new disease in the
mortality statistics. Only tvventy-three
deaths were reported from this cause
IN lSCS and no deaths from anv pre-
vious year except one for 1904 Such
deaths undoubtedly occurred, but were
not recognized, and We're, consequently
reported as Cue TO other causes or as
OF unknown causes"
Referring tc the rarer diseases faclrId-
ed in the epidemic group, the bureau
says
There are some outbreaks whose oc-
CslsloIlai occurrence awakeus more an
lSreSL and popular rear than many
hundreds times as many deaths from
more accustomed causes Among these
