New York, Oct. 20.-That no less than seven diseases declined 70 per cent or more in mortality during the past twenty-five years is declared by the StatisticlRns of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company to Do SO remarkable that 1t will 20 down in history as an outstanding public health achieve ment. This mortality record was established among the insurance company's millions of Industrial polioyholders,
 Typhoid Fever
 Tho control of typhoid fever is public health achievement num- ber one. The death rate from this disease was reduced by over 90 per cent during tho period, and has dropped from Q leading position to one of very minor importance. The greatest saving of life, however, has resulted from Q reduction In tho death rato from tuberculosis, because of the excessively high rate prevalent years ago. During tho period i0ii-ioib tho tuber- culosis death rate was 224 per 100000. This was reduced by 1913. ioS5 to O7 per 100000, and 1t will Do only 0 little more than 50 DOT 100000 for 1887.
 In percentage decline of mor- tality, the causes Of death having the best records next after typhoid were malaria with c decline of S78 per cent, diphtheriN. e7.2; dlarrhea and enteritiS, 62,7; measles, 77; whooping cough, 7i.7; tuberculosis, T0,2; and scarlet fever 0o2.
 The outstanding improvement In tho diphthoria death rate, the Statisticians explain, Is c reflection Of tho success attending wides spread measures taken to suppress the disease.
 Alcoholism
 There has been some dispute aS to tho connection between cirrhosN of tho liver and alcoholism, but however this may Dc, tho statis- ticiAns point out that the two diseases stand next to each other so for Ns declines in their death rates are concerned. Cirrhosis or the liver declined B8.S per cent ana alcoholism 62.b per cent.
 During the 2b-year period. mor- ,tallty from accidental and un. specified violence exclusive of automobile accidents was cut in half. If automobile accidents had been included, tho decline would have been only 2b per cent.
 Pucrperai diseases exhibited . decline of 47.3 per cent In the death rate DOT 100000 during the 2b.yoar period. Regarding this tho StatiatieianS remark:
 Although c large part Of the decrease in mortality from puef- peral diseases b duo to the fall In tho birth rate, 1t b also true that in more recent years tho actual risk of maternity has really decreased.
