DEATH STATISTICS J ,1 , Table of the Deaths Result- | ing in Indiana During 1 Last Ten Years. i i TUBERCULOSIS LEADS Number Has Been Decreased Owing to Earnest Efforts Being Put Forth. For the first time since its organization, the state board of health is . able to present a table of death statistics for Indiana for a period of ten years, with averages tor me various contagious diseases w-ith which the board has been dealing since it took up the problem of disease prevention. Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the board, says the tables are the most valuable the board has collected. He says a survey of a decade gives the ! public health official a sufficient grasp ou conditions to enable him to see . whether he is making progress, i Dr. Hurty says the figures show a i marked advance in the work of the board. The ravages by various diseases have been decreased in some ■ instances, and in others, they have been prevented from increasing. The rates of deaths for various diseases have been decreased in some instances, and in virtually all instances, have been kept from increasing. Dr. Hurty contends that the board’s abil« ity to prevent an increase in the rate with the increase in population in the cities and the consequent congestion of population, and the pollution of streams is a sign of successful operation. Deaths From Tuberculosis. Tuberculosis caused a greater number of deaths than any other diseuse during the ten-year period covered by the table, which is from 1901 to 1910, both inclusive. More than 45,000 persons died from this disease in that time. Diarrhoea diseases came next, with a total of more than 17, 000. The lond dreaded disease, smallpox, killed fewer than five hundred persons. The average death rale for the entire state for the ten years w-as 13. G to each 100.000 population. The rate

i for cities of five thousand population | or more was 15.4, and the rural rate; 12.9. The annual state rates for the period were as follows: For 1901, 14.5; 1902, 13.5; 19043, 13.4; 1904, 14; ■ 190 b, 13.7, 1906, 13.5, 1907, 13.4, 1908, 13.2; 1909, 13.3; 1910, 13.5. During the period, 360,016 deaths were reported to the state hoard. The month of March claimed the greatest number of victims on an average for the ton i years, the average for that month be- * j ing 3,599. The lowest average was : for June, when :he average was 2,747. Deatn Rates in Cities. | The average death rates of some of | the most important cities for the ten i years ware as fofiows: Indianapolis, 116.2; Evansville, 14.1 t Fort Wayne, i 14.4: Terre Haute, 19.3; South Bend, 116.2; Muncte, 16.1; Anderson, 14.3: - Richmond,’ 15.6; Hammond. 16; New 3 Albany, 17. Tbe statistics of the board by. dig eases for the ten years show the f o!1 lowing: 31 Pulmonary Tuberculosis —The total * number of deaths from this disease t for the period was 39,532. nr an average of 3,953 a year. The greatest 3 number died in 1901, when the total t was 4,436. The averages far the tjn. s years by months, showed the great--3 est number of deaths to have occur- > j red in March and April, which is ac--3 counted for by the state board by the fact that tbe patients come t through the severe winter months 3j without sufficient vitality to survive - ; until warm weather. The smallest ? 1 average was in August. From 1901 3 1 to 1910 there was a steady decrease 3 in the number of deaths until 1904, 3 when there was an increase, after - : which there set in another decrease, , J which continued until- 1910, when . | there was a slight increase over 1909. * | Deaths by Ages. 3 J Deaths from this disease by ages i i showed the greatest number in the - j age period of from twenty to twentyi 1 five years when the average for the 1 j ten years was 620 The average for j children under one year was sixtyj two, which decreased to fifteen in the - ; three or fou’ - years period. Then it 31 dropped to nine, then to six, and then i j mounted upward during the school ) | years. From the age of twenty-five -, the average steadily decreased, until i : the average ran down to two for the 3 age of ninety years or over. From the , afe of fifty-four to seventy the de- - crease was slower than for the re--1 mainder of the period after the twen-ty-sixth year. The rates by counties for the period i for death of this class show Floyd county to have bad the highest rate.,

or 353.3. Crawford county was second with a rate of 348.2. The lowest was that of Ohio county, which had a rate of 11.5. Switzerland was next w r ith a rate of 14.1. The board found the rate higher in the- southern tier of counties, except in Ohio, Switzer- | land and Scott counties, than in the i other counties. This is accounted .or, ; the board says, by the fact that many ; of the houses occupied in these coun--1 ties are old, the back yards sodden, ! and the houses and outbuildings teem--1 Ing with disease germs cf yeais of aci cumulation. All Forms of Tuberculosis. i Tuberculosis in All Forms —Tbe to 1 tal number of deaths from all forms of tuberculosis was 45.836, or an averj age of 4.53 a year. As in the case of pulmonary tuberculosis, the highest average for a was in March , and April. The highest average byages was in the sarqe age period us in pulmonary tuberculosis, i The number of mothers of eighteen to forty years wro died of tuberculosis from 1304 to 1910, the period i covered for statistics of this nature. , j was 7,170, or an average of 1,024 a j year. The number of fathers of the I same age who died during the period ’! was 3,825, or an average of 548. The ; total number of orphans caused by , tuberculosis in the seven years was ' I 17,363. I Cancer —The statistics for cancer, i which cover only 1908, and 1910, the { board contends, justify its assertion j that cancer is growing to be one of the most dangerous of the contagious j diseases in the state. A total of 5,439 deaths were caused by the disease in that time, or an average of 2,813 a year. In 1908 there were reported 1,739 deaths, in 1909, there were I,S2S deaths; in 1910, there were 1,872 deaths. Violence —From 190 S to 1910, deaths from violence numbered 8,760. Accidents caused 4,953 deaths; suicide, 1.174; homicides, 352. Typhoid Fever. Typhoid Fever — Typhoid fever caused 9,899 deaths in the ten years or an average of 990 a year. The months of September, October and November had the highest averages, with February the lowest, the average beilng for the ten-year period. The total deaths by years showed almost a constant decrease from the beginning of the period, although 1910 showed considerable decrease over 1909. By ages, the greatest number of deaths was of persons of from fifteen to nineteen years, with the age of twenty to thirty following closely. The highest average by ages was 141

a year. | Diphtheria— Diphtheria caused 3,900 j deaths in the ten years, with October, November, December and January, i early school months, having the high- r cut average The greatest number or f deaths was of children iron five to nine years old. Alter tee unt.eth year no averages were leported. Scarlet Fever—Scarlet lever caused 1,430 deaths, with the highest monr'.ly average in January and lebiuai). The highest average by ages was lev the same age period as that of d:;h- j theria. No averages were reported lor the.period after the fortieth year. Diarrhoeal Disease (under 2 years) —This class of disease killed 17,320 * babies, with tbe highest averages for ‘ July, August, September and October, known as the microbe months. Diarrheal Diseases (over - j ears l j - , £ «oq- ovprapp as above. . The statistics of deaths from diarjjrenl diseuse by ages show that duiing the first year of life, the average t was 1,182 deaths for the ten years. j For the next year it was 451. From , that period the average drops to 124 t for the third year, and then to below t 100 until the age period of eighty to] ninety years is reached, when it t mounts to 110. f Influenza Killed 5.63 C. Influenza —This disease killed 5,680 | persons, with February and March * carrying the highest averages. The 1 highest average by ages was for the, * age period of from eighty to ninety 1 years, when the average was 113 1 i deaths a year. | Pneumonia —This disease killed 32,- - ( 370 persons, with January, February , c and March having the highest averages.
