GREAT GAIN RECORDED.
| DR.. Louis Frank, member of one OF
Milwaukee, pioneer families, has com
pleted medical history of Milwaukee
which is of great interest and value to
the people of the entire state.
To my mind, nothing in DR. Frank S
book is more illuminating than the
tables in which he shows Of what
diseases the people died, year by year,
for the past forty years. AS part OF
this study, he has compiled a table
showing the most important causes OF
death for the last twenty years as COM
pared with the preceding twenty.
Today, as you frequently see in
reports from Health Departments,
pneumonia and tuberculosis are the
most frequent causes of death, whereas
from 1870 to 1891 commissions and in
testinal diseases of childhood headed
the list. During the last twenty years,
CONFUSION is tenth, due to more intelli-
gent feeding and care Of infants.
Whereas smallpox ranked fourth as the
cause of death from 1870 to 1891. from
1892 to 1914 it is at the bottom Of the
first. Practically no deaths are due to
smallpox today.
Diphtheria changed it's position from
fifth in the early period to eleventh in
the latter period. Antitoxin is mainly
responsible for this decrease. Scarlet
fever was seventh from 1870 to 1891 i;
from 1892 to 1914 it was fifteenth.
Better quarantine secured this increas-
ed safety. Meningitis was relatively
much less important in the last twenty
years than it was in the preceding
twenty years; typhoid and measles
somewhat less.
The most abrupt jumps upward in
the second period from the position
occupied in early period are made by
kidney disease from seventeenth to
sixth; cancer from fourteenth to fifth
heart disease from tenth to third; and
pneumonia from sixth to first.
DIR. Franks table is not built on
| actual increase or decrease in numbers,
but upon change of position. Obvious
ly, therefore, when smallpox drops
from near the top of one column to the
bottom of its parallel column, it has
had to crowd more common diseases
nearer the head of the list. Neverthe
less. this table gives point and general
confirmation to the truth recently
pointed out in this column, that the
common diseases of early life are grow
ing less and the degenerative diseases
of adult life are increasing.
The above gains offer encouragement
to, and great promise from increasing
intelligent care of infants; antitoxin in
all cases of diphtheria and membranous
Group; and enfor cling quarantine in ali
cases of scarlet fever.
