Mortality Records in United States.
Contributed sseey

According to life insurance statistics
the annual death rate per 1000 popu-
laton has been reduced since 1880
about 20 per cent. This has been
largely due to the education Of the
masses as to the causes ana the pre-
vention OF disease and especially 30
as to the infectious and communicable
diseases. VIZ. diphtheria, smallpox, ty-
phoid fever. tuberculosis and also to
the great diminution in infant NOR
tally by teaching mothers how to
properly care for and to feed their lit
tie ones.
It is only few years since an educa-
tiof1ai campaign was started by one
nsTws 4, ,,1s t9 check the foolhardy deaths
tioiis. aud the annual deaths have been
reduced from 46B in 1903 to 81 in 1911.
The campaign in New York city to re-
duce infant mortality by education and
the Straus pure milk stations have lower
ed the death rate from 2cI III 1905 to 1875
In 1911.
An Interesting Question.
A more aggressive educational cam
paisn will give still better results. The
above figures are very significant, for
there are still remaining preventable OF
postponable diseases against which ne
war has been waged. and these diseases
have been and are still steadily ifacreas.
ing. Why should the death rate per 1.Uu
population in the United States show
such q heavy increase above the age OF
forty during recent years, while it has
actually decreased during the same PERI
Cd In England and Wales?
Can there be any local reason for this
excessive loss Of American life?
Chronic diseases kill half OF the people
who die in the United States or about
900 annually. Half Of these, that is,
$4,000 would not die IL the average
health were as good rs thirty years. ago.
The enormous, increase In the mortality
rate from chronic diseases has escaped
the attention OF doctors because OF the
notable decrease in the Death rate, O. the
result Of . decrease in the deaths from,
acute diseases so great as to more than
equal the Increase In deaths from chronic
dieeases.
The actuaries Of prominent life insur-
ance companies assert that the mortality
from chronic diseeses has doubled in the
last thirty. years. While medicine has &C.
complained wonders In reducing the nor.
tally from acute disease, II has signaily
failed In the prevention and treatment
OF chronic diseases. -
Statistics show Q very marked increase
