Not only are these facts true of the cities just named, but it is also true that the severity and mortality of typhoid fever are steadily decreasing all over the world, as is shown by the following inter- esting tables of Dreschfeld in regard to England up to 1892 in general and London and ^Manchester up to 1907, the statistics since 1892 being collected by the authors. A similar diminution in mortality has occurred in Chicago, Berlin, New York, and Philadelphia. 1 This table is taken from Pettenkofer? Munich a Heahhy City,' up to 1887 inclusive, after 1887 from returns obtained from the Statistical Bm-eau.
