Links Curative and
Preventive Work
Coordination Extended
As D. c. Deoth Rote
Reaches AII-Time Low

Progressive development of CO.
ordination between preventive work
in the clinics and curative work in
the hospitals was on important fac
tor in the work of the Health De-
partment during the last year, ac-
cording to Acting Health Officer
Daniel L. Seckinger in the annual
report of the department submitted
to the Commissioners Yesterday.
Among the accomplishments of
1898, DR.. Seckinger listed an all
time low in the death rate, infant
mortality, diphtheria mortality,
pneumonia mortality and even tu-
berculosis mortality.
On the basis of an estimate 627.-
900 population for the District, DR..
Seckinger said a total of 1166 per-
sons were saved last year who would
have died if the rate of 1884 had
continued through 1898.
The statistical report showed a.
300 school children were inspected
for physical defects during the year
More than $4,000 food handling
establishments were inspected. Some
257 health lectures were given to
more than 1900 persons.
In the venereal disease clinic
more than 1o1 900 treatments were
given and more than $4,000 persons
visited the tuberculosis clinic. In
both instances the figure represents
a large increase over 1884.
In connection with mortality
rates, the acting health officer sale
there were only seven deaths from
| diphtheria. Pneumonia claimed
87l victims per 100000 of population
against 1921 on the same basis ir
1884. Even including deaths al
Glenn Dale tuberculosis Sanato-
rum, the death rate from this di-
sease dropped to 93.8 per 100 OOC
from 1913 in 1894.
