WHITE PLAGUE, LESS DEADLY
Decrease In Death Rate From Tuber
cuiosis Means Saving Of $4,000
Lives In Ten Years.

In the decade from 1901 to 1910. the
death rate from tuberculosis In the
United States decliped from 1863 for
each 100000 persons living to 1903, a
decrease of 1877 per cent, while the
general death rate, including all
causes of death, declined only one
half as fast, or at the rate OF 81 per
cent, from 1850 to 1883. according
to figures given out by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton OF tuberculosis. The figures are
based on data distracted from the re-
ports OF the United States Bureau OF
the Census, and cover the registration
area in this country. According to
the statement. the tuberculosis death
rate has declined steadily since 1904,
when 1t was 201.6. On the other hand.
the general death rate shows fiuc-
tuation downward in general trend.
but not as steady as the tuberculosis
rate. The decline in the tuberculosis
death rate In the last ten years means
a saving of $1,000 lives at the present
time.
