tistically, as bringer of death to Eng

Tor every 100 deaths from consumption

percentage is six times as great. There
is little rashness in prophesies that in
five years time cancer will have out
stripped it's rival and will have a
heavier deathroll than consumption The
one morever is a conquered and dying
foe; the other shows a prime vitality
and rides rough shod over the whole
