CHEERING TUBERCULAR STATISTICS.
_ — . 4 While in the years 1868-69 the mortality from consumption was about 2800 per million per annum in England and Wales, it had fallen in 1880 to 1869 per million; and in the four years 1896-99 it averaged very little over 1300 per million per annum. There has, therefore, been for thirty years a continuous and very satisfactory fall in the mortality fron} this terrible disease, and that fall had been going on long before any talk of a crusad© against consumption lhad been heard of, and independently even of the advance of better ideas regarding its infectiousness and its hereditary transmission. It does nob seem Utopian to hope yet to see the mortality from consumption reduced to very small proportions indeed.
