This means that in the census year, which may be taken as an average, there were about 500 cases of typhoid fever with over forty-six deaths, among every 100,000 persons composing the American nation. The total number of deaths from typhoid fever recorded in the census year 1900 was 35,379, which gave typhoid fever fourth place on the mortality list.
Page 780 - Any interference which tends to reform and protect the health of the masses is viewed by them as unwarranted interference with their vested rights to inevitable disease and death." That this cynical remark contains an element of truth the experience of those eager to build up legislation as affecting public health would seem to indicate.
