Sedentary Occupations.

A writer in La Medicine Modern asserts that sedentary occupations pro dispose to tuberculosis more than any others. Italian and English statistics show, he says, that there are 459 deaths per 1000 from this disease among students, seminarians and young clergymen; while farmers, boatmen and mountaineers enjoy almost complete immunity from it.
