DR.. DALTON DISCUSSES
STATES DEATH RATE
State Board of Health Secretary Says
Great Improvement Has Been
Made.

BURLINGTON, May u = Secretary
Charles f. Dalton of the state board of
health has given out a statement relative
to Vermont's death rate which is, in part,
as follows =
Much prominence is being given to the
fact that Vermont in 1913 had the high
est death rate from cancer of any state in
the registration area While it is fitting
that we should take cognizanee of this
condition and do everything possible to
correct it, the idea should not be ollowed
to exist that Vermont has a similar repu-
tation in regard to other diseases.
Cancer is a disease about which we
know positively nothing as to the cause,
and the only treatment is early surgery.
When the statistics are shown in regard
to the diseases which depend for their
prevention upon state control and correct
medical treatment, it will be found that
Vermont either leads the whole United
States, or is well to the front.
| For example, the same report which
SAYS that Vermont had the highest NOR
| tally from cancer in 1913 also says in
speaking of typhoid fever:
| Vermont had the lowest mortality of
any registration state from this disease
| in 1913 (7S)
| The death rate from tuberculosis has
steadily decreased in Vermont, 50 that in
| 1913 there were only BOB deaths, compared
with 725 death in 1SSS
Diphtheria, another disease formerly
dreaded, has been almost conquered in
/ Vermont BY methods of quarantine and
state distribution Of antitoxin, and among
the eastern states Vermont leads by a
very large margin in this respect
! Pneumonia, about which we are just
beginning to learn, is under better control
in Vermont than in any other nearby
state.
In the matter of infant mortality. as
shown by the statistics of deaths from
diarrhoea and enteritis in children under
two years of age, our rating is equally
creditable With the highest death rate
in Pennsylvania at 1868 per 100000 pop
ulation, and Maryland second at 101 >
Vermont shows a rate of 49,
! Even in such diseases of adult life, as
bright's disease, we have no reason te
think that lives are being sacrificed IN
necessarily.
One Of the points which must be taker
IN consideration is the number of deaths
occurring from unknown causes IN which
no diagnosis was made by the physician
Many such deaths would be includet
among other diseases if the facts wer,
known.
In addition to these facts. it shoulc
also be stated that the Vermont stat,
/ board of health has become know
throughout the entire country during tn
past year by its methods of dealing wit
: the scourge of infantile paralysis, an,
that it is setting pace in the study o
this disease which forms an entirely nev
epoch in the history Of preventative med
icine.

U. s. INSURANCE WAS HEAVY.
Life Companies Lose at Least S1,o51,
800 on Lusitania.

It is estimated by the Insurance
Press that American life and accident
insurance companies will have to pay
at least 81, 051 500, and perhaps double
that amount by reason of destruction
of the Lusitani. Large policies carried
by individuals among the victims, such
as Charles Klein, are not taken into ae-
count in this estimate. 1t also ex-
cludes the liabilities of many English
and Canadian companies.
The Travellers Insurance company of
Hartford, Conn, estimates that 1t IS
the heaviest loser with 100000 iabil-
tiles on accident policies. The Aetna
Life Insurance company of Hartford
and the Equitable Life Insurance com
pany of New York probably will have
to pay about 100000 each. Other large
insurers were the New York Life
/ whose Eve policyholders who perisheo
| held S73, 900 of insurance; the Pruden-
tial of Newark with $4,000 to $4,000
and the Royal Indemnity of New York
with $4,000.
