PNEUMONIA.

There are many varieties, which
are named from the anatomical
parts affected, and from the causes.
The varieties are of little impor-

this "write-up" is to explain the
seriousness of pneumonia and to
suggest few methods by which it
may be prevented, to a great ex-
tent.
From l to 6 and IS years of age
and over, the death rate is very
large, estimated at from 25 to 60
per cent. by different observers.
Males are more frequently attacked
than females. The death rate is
from so to 100 % more in colored
than in white. The disease is
more common in cities than in ru-
raj districts by so per cent.
People who are debilitated, have
low vitality. take alcoholic stimu-

of recurrence is 30 or higher.
