CONOTERLNG DISEASE.

n The remarkable decrease Of the death
rate on the Isthmus of Panama is fire.
I ouently cited with justlfable pride as a
I fine achievement of American sanitary
7 administration. 1t is that, but it is also
simply part Of practically worldwide
triumph Of constantly increasing proper
lions over disease. and particularly over
/. those epidemic plaques which for ages
were most deadly. Particularly is it a
triumph over the diseases which prevail
( I'm tropical countries. having been brought
I about by the necessities Of tropical colo
! nization, and being effected chiefly
/ through use of the resources which bac-
f THEOLOGICAL science has placed at our
o0mmand-the exclusion or eXtermina-
/ ton of the plague-bearing mosquitoes
and the rat the safeguarding of water
4 supplies and the use of inoculatory
lymphs.
Note. for example, the record Of the
Gold Coast and other West African colo
MES, which have long been branded as
the graveyards OF white cOlonistS. In
the years from 1881 TO 1897 the white
death rate on the Gold Coast averaged
75.S In the thousand each year and even
I'm Lagos II was $50 Since then persis-
tent campaigns have been waged against
mosquitoes and rats, water supplies have
been purified and protected and there
have been NEGOTIATIONS against typhoid.
The result is writ large in vital statis-
Tics In the years 1903-'06 the death
: rate was 243, in 1911 il was 17.G, and
in 1911 it was 1873. That is record
worthy TO be bracketed with our own at
Panama.
In India there Is a standing British
Z army of about 1900 men, in which ma
! larial fevers are the most common, but
j.enteric fever was formerly by far the
most deadly ailment. Comparatively
little progress has been made against the
former. but eateric disorders have been
i combated with sanitation and inOcula-
i iion-the latter purely voluntary. but
i Widespread results so gratifying
4 as TO offer reasonable prospect Of COM
plete extinction. Five years ago the
4 death rate from this cause was 2.6G in
j the thousand which was a marked re-
4 duction from earlier rates. IN 1910 IL
4 was reduced 10 1.Js, and last year il was
