Though several types of diseases in- ereased in prevalence, health conditions |2 throughout the United States were “gen- erally good” during the past fiscal year, according to a report made public today by Surg. Gen. H. S. Cumming. ‘There was a falling off in prevalence of influenza and pneumonia and there ‘were comparatively few deaths from these causes, the report shows.

Reports froin 45 States show a slight decrease in malaria deaths from the high figures of 1928, though in some of the Southern States, where malaria is a serious problem, reports of cases and deaths showed an increase. Case and death rates for diphtheria have been decreasing for many years, it was reported, and during the calendar year 1929 these rates reached new low records.
