CleTslaad Moffett haa been studying â- i Britisb blue book n htcta presents sta tistii'a of death in England in the years 1890, 1891 and 1892. In this book tie sa;s, the dead are classilied accord- ing tu ages, occvijtttions, disease, dis- tricts, etc., until there ifl not the poor est ohimney-flweep or loftiesi. cabinet minister who may not find, if he looks cArefuJiy, some precise statement us to 4kiw and why und wbea he is ai't to die. And it ia easy to see thut these death discoveries made in London and Lagland niu.st apply in the m»>D to other capitals «nd other countries where similar conditions eiist. All conclusions in this blue book are bus- ed ujMn the deaths of men, for It ap- i{«ar8 thut women make trouble e^en in the mortality statistics. One of the first tables shows that men who ba^e some regular occupe,- >tion may fa<:e death mure serenely tb:>n those who have none. This Is especially true between the a;,'es of 20 and 35, when the death rate for "unoccupied males" is from three to six times great- er than for those with occuijationN, six times greater at 'M, and tbreee times Creater ut 8S. It munt be boint- in cnind, howQTert that uxuong Mie an occtvpied are included not only persons retired from btuiness or living on pri- krkte menns, bat LDNATICS AND PBISONEHS The tables ehow that this excessiTe death rate among the unoccupied is due mainly to diseases of the nervous •ystem and to phthisis, the death rate from the foruier being seven times and from the I&tter nearly three times bigher than for men with ocuu}>ations. I W'e next aee the iwdvajata^e of living in agricultural districts away from large cities. Cumi>Hring the death rate of "occui>ied mules" (whom Mr. Ifoffett cuasidera exclusively now) we find that the mortality in London, tak- ing the v<i°io<i in 'if« from 25 to ti5, is M per cent. Above the average.while in the agricultural duitricts it, la >8 {Jer cent, below the average. And •till less favorable ia the lot of those who live in the industrial regions, the greut manufacturing centres like Shef- field and Birmingham since for them the death rate rises to 81 per cent, above the average. 1 he chief cuumbs of tJiese higher death rules, t>oth in Lon- don and the indiutrial districts, ure r'hthisis and xliseases of the lespiru- ory s.vstem. Btatistica are given uf twenty-four diseases or causes of death, and five of these, viz: phthisis, diseases of the Deitvous system, diiieases ol the circul- atory system, bronchitis, and pneu- monia, cawies more than half of the entire mortality. Cancer kilU more than influenza, while suicide is directly VBstJonsIble for more deaths th^n al- coholism. It ia, however, pointed out expressly that alcoholism contributes to many deaths that ara put down to other causes. In certifying the cause of deatli of inebriates it is the habit of some medical men to otate only the liathological condition of the orgaa or organs chiefl.v affected. 'I'ho experi- ence of the General Kesistry office â- liowB that CIRRHOSIS OF THB LIVER for instance, (the Uver Is the organ which, more than any other Is affected by intemi)erance), is frequently re- turned at) the sole causa of death iu mich circumstances, the fact that abuse of alcohol had induced the cirrhosis or other morbid condition being omitted from the certificate. There is a s|)ec- ial table given tor alcoholismi showing comparative mortality figures, and social philosophers will sbaku their beads wisely when they see, at the very bead o( the list, the keepers of inns and hotels, their servants, and the whole tribe of brewers and distillers. Men of thaee classes, that is, the dis- Ijensers of alcohol, die of its effects and three to ten timei faster than the (average of "occupied tnales," three times faster for the brewer, ten timns faster for the London hotel servant. On the other hand, the mottality from alcoholism among agricultural lal^r- ers, railway men, iron und tin and coal miners, clergymen, fiuhermeu, an<l others is far below the a-vorage, only iDine-thlrd or one-fourth of it,, while in the ease of 8oaj> manuCac.turerB, lead workers, copper minersv and car{>et xnanufacturers, no deaths whatever are recorded from alcoholism. It would Ix* of interest to know if there is somi' subtle, relation bet>^en soapmaking and total abBtinence. Mr. Moffett found the suicide sta- tistics full of eimilar nnoxplninablc concluHlons. Why, for Instance, should jiinc workers be five times as ready to kill themselTCS as ordinary "occupied males," whereas watohm.akers are only twice as ready, copper workers only one-third fts ready, while hotel sei- fvants in the industrial districts, co!>- per miners and tin miners apparentl.v never kill themselves at all t THK NORMAL AVERAGE requires that there be one suicide in every 100 deaths, but innkeepers, teach- ers, artists, nwisicinns, hair drcsHers, and commercial travellers kill them- selves muich oftener than this, while hoilermakers, brlckla.vers, clergymen, and coal miners, keep their self-de- struction well below the average. Far- mers, gardeners, etc., iu the matter of suicide are above the average, while their servants are U-lnw it. Physici- ans kill themsulves three times us oft- en as ordinary men, and in that diffi- cult period of their lives between the ages of 29 and dT) Jlhcir mortality from suicide is even grei^ter. Publishers are singularly free from ui tendency to suicide. Coming to the table of phthisis, whirh kills more people every year than any other dlseaae, it is seen that the great- est sufferers here, as was the case wit h alcoboli.sm, are those who have to do with the running of inns and hotels; indeed, the presentment of dangers connected with these two callings Is quite appalling. It is plain that ni-ith- er hotel keepers nor their servants have anything to hope for from mor- tality statistics. Not only do they head the death rale ILsts in phthisis an<l alcoholism, but they hold the same unenviable position for influenza, gout, rheumatic fever, pneumonia., diseases of the liver, diseaues of the digestive organs, und, finally, they show the highest mortality figures for diseases of all sort.s. "The mortality amoni.; publicans, in London," remarks the statistician, "is nearly double that of all occupied males tuken us a stand- ard. They die nearh' l" times as fast from alcoholism. 5 1-2 times as fast from gout, 31-2 times as fust from dlaletes, 39-4 times us fast from dis- eases of the liver, and twice as fast from phthisis, rheumatic fever and sui- cide." Looking over other lists Mr, Moffett finds that cbinmey sweepe have nearly four times the tendency of ordinary men to contract cancer, that gener- al laborers axe the most fortunate in esrefiiing gout, lead workers und file makers die about three times often- er than the ordinary eltizen from BRIGHT'S DISEASE, which is almost never contracted by tallow soap munuiucturers (here we have the mystery uf soi4>-making again^ that coal miners #nd lace mak- ers show only half the general lia- bility to liver disea«es; that seven or- dinary men die from accidents for every schoolmaster who so dies; that paier manufacturers are prai-ticully free from rheumatic fever, although bookbinders suffer from it cruelly; that coal heavers, porters and metal work- ers seldom die from diabetes, although that disease carries off three times as many (laaa manufacturers and four times as ma,ny lawyers a« the aver- age calls for. The blu«) book statistician has a poor Idea of musicians, whom br finds "sad- ly addicted to Intemiierance." They die more than tw ice ujl rapidly as or- dinary men from alcoholism, nearly twice as rapidly from phthisis, and very much more rapidly from nervous diseases, Uver discuses and suicide. Commercial travi-llers show a high mortality, considering tb» large am- ount of time they spend in the open air. Alcoholism and liver diseases are the chief causes of this heightened death rate, which increases as they pass mid- dle life. Commercial travellers die from dial>etes ii1m'>st us fast again as the averivge, and from cancer faster than the average by 43 per cent.; they also ^^^fer exceptionally from Brigbt's disease. Their mortality from iihlhisis and from diseases of the respiratory .system is, however, below the aver- *g«" Among many othier tables are t»-o imiiorlant ones, showing the effects in mortality statistics of breathing foul air and breathing dust^laden air. The conclu-sions are that ooal dust and the dust of such woods aa are used by oar- jenters and joiners are much less in- juriinis than the dust of metals and stone, while flour ilust and the dust of textile fabrics oorae between the two in point of harmfuffness. As to the biteathin* of fo'il air. it Is proved that in occupations where it is inevitable, as in printing and nhoemaklng, the mortality figures from iiulmonary dis- ea«e« are materially increased.
