The increase in the death rate. 5.9.
from this cause ior 1909 over the
annual average rate. 2e. for the i've
year period 1s0l-I905. is probably
due largely TO greater precision in
the returns in this respect.
Among the causes OF accidental
deaths. in the order OF numerical
T! importance for the year 1908. were
the following:
Railroad accidents and injuries.
1853: drowning. 1855: burns and
scalds. 1892: injuries at birth. here

There were LIZA fa:al injuries oy

the large mum Der. 10.10S. Of acc!den-
tai ;raumatisms OF unspecifed na-
:ure makes it necessary TO consider
many OF the figures given above as
only miaimal. and it is important
that the means Of injury be specified
in all returns OF death from acciden-
tai violence.
The slight numerical increase in
the deaths. S.402 from suicide regis.
tered for 1909 over the number. s.
332. for 1908 is less than the rela-
tive increase OF the estimated popu-
lation OF the registration area, SO
that the death rate decreased from
1875 70 l72 per 100000 population.
The mos; common means Of suicide
for the year was poison. 2.46a. fol-.
lowed BY firearms. 1895: hanging,

Undoubtedly many deaths from
suicide fail TO be reported so thI'
they can be compiled under this
head. but the increasing precision OF
statement OF the na,rue Of the death
in cases Of deaths from violent raus'
es renders the statistics more accur'
ate from year 70 year and thus ac'
counts for some OF the apparent in
