By WOODS HUTCHINSON, M. D. The World's Best Known Writer on Medical Subjects. It seems painfully ironie that the ap- proach of the fairest and most charm- ing season of the year, spring, should be heralded by the flercest outbreak and widest spread of discases of any month in the calendar year. Not only does every country doctor well know that his heaviest professional work, his longest rides and his shortest snatches of sleep Invariably come just at the period when the spring thaw has dropped the bottom out of the country roads, but the very Roman name in our calendar of the month which, at Mediterranean lati« tudes, correspond to this dread period is February, the month of fevers—the “febrile” month And, of course, it has been a classic canon of pathetico-romantic lterature that the wan and wasted victims of the great white plague struggle through the winter to fail and fade with the coming of the spring flowers | For once the tindings of modern science and vital statistics firmly and unmis- | takably support an anctent popular im pression. Not only does the general death rate In almost every city and country of the temperate zone mount steadlly from its lowest point in July up to its climax in March or early April, but the same steady and fatal rise is found in their curve when we map out the ravages of most of our serious infectious diseases. This ts rather surprising, f6F while it seems natural and proper enough that there should be an increase in the coughs, nearest | colds and consumption group of diseasea which are supposed to have to do with | ehills, exposures and wet feet at this most trying and changeable season of the | year, there does not appear, on the sur | face, any good reason why diseases liko soarlet fever, diphtheris, measles and whooping cough, which are pure infec- tions and are not supposed to have any- thing particular to do with the weather, should also reach their high water mark in the spring. But the same cause really underlies this increase in deadliness of all these widely different diseases, though that cause Is Intern'l News Service There are some tender-hearted girls who sense life in every thing that mwoves even if it be a breath of wind as the flower sways, who are kind to everything, and who would caress and love a flower for its own soft sweet sake even if it came from a man whose name makes her lip cur', eavesdropper do but go back with ‘“‘nothing to report” from the front?
