The reason is not explained by the
experts who are studying the rapid
spread and ravages of the disease in
this country. says the Washington

IN the mortality from the disease IN
1911. when $50 deaths were reported:
IN the decade 1900 to 1909 the
mortality reported from this disease
was Insignificant. two deaths being
returned from 1900. two for 1903. and
one for 1904 In 1908 there occurred
23 deaths. all In southern cities. A
large increase was shown for 1909
during which 1l6 deaths were report
ed. and a still greater increase for
1910. when there were 36s deaths
The mortality of $50 for 1911. as com
pared with 36S for 1910. indicate an
increase OF IS per cent. 1t is Ques
tionable. however II this should be
considered representative OF the actual
increase in the mortality. As in pre-
vious years the excess OF women VIC
tins was very large. AGA. or 7O.4 per

bat it. The difficulty. is that they
have reached no agreement as to
either cause or cure for the malady.
