The Health Record Of
Maryland For 1888

In commenting on the record, DR.. r.
q. Riley, said: LAST year was
particularly favorable to the younger
element in the population but less
favorable to those who have reached
middle age. There were 1883 births
reported during the year in comparison
with %, TAO in 1882, but there were few
er deaths among babies under a year
old, in proportion to the number of
births, than at any time since the
State has been keeping the records Of
births and deaths. There we're 81, 464
births in the white population and
6, 1850 in the colorej. There were l ,l49
infant deaths in the white population
or approximately 81 deaths under one
year to each thousand live births; and
644 deaths under one year in the color
ed population or approximately 104
deaths to each thousand colored births
There were 20, 500 deaths from all
causes, at all ages of which 1886
were white and 4, $50 colored. Con-
sidering these deaths in relation to
population, there were IL deaths in
each thousand of the population of
the State, IL in each thousand OF the
white population and II in each
thousand of the colored. These pro-
portions continue the decline that has
been evident during the past five years.
There were encouraging decreases
In number of important causes Of
death, There were 1882 deaths from
tuberculosis, 149 less than in 1882; i ,585
from pneumonia in comparison with
] $50 last year; 81 from typhoid fever
N comparison with So in 1882; and 20
from diphtheria in comparison with
So last year.
There we're fewer cases of sickness
from the reportabie diseases than for
several years. Some of these diseases
like measles, occur in epidemic form,
at more or less regular intervals. Last
year was a favorable one in this re.
spect. The total number of cases of
sickness from the communicable dis
eases reported was 39,602. The total
in 1882 was 2,652.
"of the total deaths, s,707 were un-
der 25 to A, and 14,Ol7 or over two
thirds of the total were over As years
old. What we speak of as the degen-
eratiye diseases OF middle age and of
the older age groups, were responsible
for 10,775 deaths or more than half OF
the total from all causes. Diseases of
the heart were responsible for 1924
deaths, diseases of the kidneys for
!, 439, cancer for zoos, cerebral hem.
orrhase 1907 and diabetes for 1898
