This statement is clearly borne out by statistics published by the Chicago Health Department, and is only slight- ly less true of some other localities. But the bald statement does not suffi- ciently convey the whole truth. Look at the figures: An average death rate in Chicago during the whole for- ty years previous to the last decade of 219 per thousand of population. During the past ten years the average has been only 147.
