Medical Subjects.
It seems painfully ironic that the APP
proach of the fairest and most charm
ing season Of the year, spring, should be
heralded by the fiercest outbreak and
widest spread of diseases OF any month
in the calendar year.
Not only does every country doctor well
know that his heaviest professional work,
his longest rides and his shortest snatches
of sleep invariably come just at the
period when the spring thaw has dropped
the bottom out OF the country roads. but
the very Roman name in our calendar OF
the month which. at Mediterranean lat-
tudes. correspond TO this dread period is
February. the month OF fevers-the
'febrile" month
And, OF course, II has been a classic
canon OF pathetico-romantic literature
that the wan and wasted victims OF the
great white plague struggle through the
winter to fail and fade with the cominG
OF the spring flowers.
For once the findings of modern seiene'
and vital statistics firmly and unmis
takably support an ancient popular i'm
preston. Not only does the general dealt
rate in almost every city and country o
the temperate zone mount steadily from
its lowest point in July up TO its climal
in March or early April. but the sam
steady and fatal rise is found In thei
curve when we map out the ravages o
most of our serious infectious diseases.
This is rather surprising. for while

1t is not the March weather we suffer
