OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE BOARD
OF HEALTH FOR APRIL.

The report of the Board Of Health
for April contains interesting statis-
tics. The population of Nashville is
estimated as 11,S47. The number of
deaths for the month of April was
1853 of which n were colored and 81
white. The white population is
about double the colored, but the
number of deaths is about the same.
Not a single death occurred among
the Jews during the month Of April,
this is indeed remarkable as there
are a great many Jews in this city.
There were IA deaths from Tubercu-
losis, Z colored and white.
The report made by the Tubercu-
losis Bureau for the month Of April
shows that 105 dozen eggs and 1884
quarts of sweet milk have been ap-
propriated for the Tubercular pa'
tients, 154 colored patients and
$50 white were treated for this di.
sease.
