were usually attacked somewhat later
than large cities in the same sections.
The percentage Of the population at
tackled varied from Is per cent. in
Louisville to 53.3 per cent. in San
Antonio, Tex. the aggregate for the
whole group being about IS per cent.
This agrees with scattered observa-
tiOns in the first phase of the 1SS9-90
epidemic, when the attack rate seems
to have varied within about these
limits.
Children Most Numerous Victims.
The case incidence was found to be
uniformly highest in children from
5 to II years old, and progressively
lower in each higher age group. 1t
was slightly higher in females than
in males of corresponding age; usu-
ally higher in the white than in the
negro population.
The ratio of pneumonia cases to
total population varied from 5.3 cases
per one thousand in Spartanburg
S. c., to 24.6 per one thousand in the
smaller towns of Maryland. The pneu-
monia rate showed little correlation
with the influenza attack rate.
The ratio of deaths to population
varied from 1.9 per thousand in Spar
tanburg to 6S in Maryland towns. The
death rate was by no means parallel
to the influenza attack rate, but was
closely correlated with the pneu-
monia rate. In other words, the case
fatality rate of pneumonia tended to
be fairly constant around 80 per cent.
The death rate was notably high in
children under l year old. in adults
from 20 to 40 and in persons over 60;
hipher in males than in females Of
comparable ages; higher~among the
whites than the cOlored.
