During the year ending December 31st, 1904, the deaths registered in New Jersey as having been caused by pulmonary tuberculosis numbered 3,670. This number is somewhat in excess of the deaths from this affection which occurred during the three preceding years, the proportion of deaths per 10,000 inhabitants having been as follows: 1901, 16.91; 1902, 15.32; 1903, 16.76; 1904, 17.83. Reference to the chart on page 22 will show that the improvement in the death-rate from consumption has been but slightly interrupted since 1887, and it appears to be probable that seasonal changes and the unusual severity of the winters of 1902-1903 and 1903-1904 have influenced the mortality in this and certain other affections.

This increase in the fatality of pneumonia during the calendar year 1904 was not limited to New Jersey, but prevailed generally throughout the Central and Eastern States. Pneumonia |
