During the year, probably 100000 people in tha United States will cc;l- tract typhoid fever. The average per jod of invaldism will be more than q month for every case deVeioplnS, so that the economic loss, even II re- covery does cnsue, can De reckoheo upon this basis, including at the same time the care and attention required. Of those who contract the disease possibly 1S,000 will succumb. 90 per cent of these will be between tn ages of 15 and 8 years, the very tune ol life when the loss is most 1rlghtful. Moreover, this is an annual toll ana represents the minimum fatauty which we hay attained. No sooner is the computation of the 1S,o0o con- nleted than another series is begun, and so on interminably. True, there is some diminution in the total num- her the death rate since 1900 haVlnS he n diminished by half, and most ol our cities showing a progressive re duction in the incidence or the is- ease but it still remains much hlShel than that of countries which we are ant to consider less civilized thar our own.
