The decline is strikingly illustrated in the annual report of the American Medical association, based on the official records from all cities in the United States with a population of 100,000 or more. The American Medical association’s summary shows that the 1922 death rate from typhoid fever in the lar- ger cities of the country was the lowest on record. The number of typhoid deaths in these cities, whose ,total population exceeded 28,000,- +000, was 958, or 3.8 per 100,000. HIn 1921 and 1916 respectively, the ‘corresponding rates were 4 and 8.1. ‘These figures speak for themselves, | nd no less worthy of note are the tatistics for certain individual cities. In Pittsburgh, the average death rate for the years 1906 to 1910 inclusive, was per 100,000 Pas against 4.6 for 1922; in New York city it was 13.5 as compared with 2.2; and in Portland, Oregon, it was 23.2 as compared with 3.3. These instances are typical, and re- flect the general decline in the curve of typhoid mortality. If the decline continues, the rav- ages of typhoid may be as effective- Jy checked as they have been in the United States army through the adoption of preventive measures and improved methods of sanitation. Not many years ago the disease was perhaps the most formidable foe of armies in the field. The intestinal diseases such as typhoid, cholera and typhus have in the past reduced armies to a shadow of their original strength. In the Spanish-American war, typhoid fever alone caused ap- proximately 85 per cent of the total number of deaths among American troops serving with the colors—an eloquent commentary on the sani- tation of ’98. Compulsory vaccina- tion of all soldiers and the perfec- tion of field hygiene made it possi- ble for the United States in the war with Germany to raise an army of some 4,000,000*men with only 2,328 cases of typhoid fever recorded up to May 1, 1919. Of this nuthber only 227 resulted fatally. Such results as these are equiva- lent to the winning of many battles. The decline of typhoid, both inside and outside the army, is an achieve- ment of which medical men may be justly proud. It marks a mile-stone in the unending warfare against dis- ease, a landmark in the campaign for human betterment. LAST GASP “The world has traveled far since Aristotle in the plenitude of his wis- dom declared that slavery was a nor- mal and natural institution of so- ciety. Once accepted almost uni- versally as Aristotle slavery down the ages has slowly but surely lost the support of think-| ing men. The social vision broad- enced, the individual life became in- vested with an intrinsic worth for its own sake, and men and women no longer looked with indifference yon the barter and sale of human be- ‘ings, whatever their nationality, or whatever their race. In no respect, perhaps, have we advanced further than in the all but universal con- demnation in which the world holds slavery, and concomitant the slave trade, “Yet slavery has not entirely died off from the face of the earth, nor has the slave-dealing instinct en- tirely vanished. From London comes word that the French and British governments are much exercised its over the recrudescence of the Afri- can slave trade, which apparently is thriving in spite of all the efforts of these two governments to suppress it, Here, in “Darkest Africa,” the @ tradition seems to be most deeply rooted.
