Gen. Hugh S. Cumming of | the Public Health Service. | Due to the close relation of com- merce to public health, in connection with the spread of epidemic diseases, he States in a report to Congress, it has been necessary for the Public Health | Service to keep advised currently as to the prevalence of diseases not only | in the United States, but in so far as Ppracticable, throughout the world. Any generalization as to the mortality rate for the world must be in relative terms, he points out, since the rate varies so widely in different countries. Surg. Gen. Cumming reports that the influenza epidemic in the Winter of 1928-29, although mild as compared with the epidemic of 1920 and the epidemic of 1918-19, reached a | large part of the countries for which mortality records are available. Cerebrospinal meningitis was unus- ually high in the United States during the last half of 1928 and especially dur- ing the early part of 1929, he reports, and adds that in the Fall of 1928, an epidemic of plague in India. In the early months of 1929 the plague sit- uaticn in nearly all parts of the world was more favorable than in previous years, A considerable number of cases of cholera occurred in India during the year, but there has been a noteworthy decrease there in the last 10 years, ac- cording to the report. g “Yellow fever was reported in Brazil during the year, a severe outbreak oc- curring at Rio de Janeiro. At the close of the fiscal year the outbreak appeared to be under control, but that that time the disease was reported in the interior of Colombia. These occurrences prove that notwithstanding the progress made in the fight against yellow fever, constant vigilance is still necessary to revent this scourge from again secur- g & foothold in the United Stat D.
