tics. gathered by the State department OF

show that the death rate from tubercd-
losie IS decreasing about three times as
rapldly in the cities as It is in the country.
This situation seems to support the opin-
ion of many anti-tuberculosis workers
that largely 10 hospital care must be at

deaths that has taken place in this state.
We know that hospital provision has seen a
greater development IN the cities than IN
the country"
