The official communique on tho subject points out that tho num ber of deaths ascribed to fever through out India approximates 4,500,000, rep resenting a mean death rote of nearly 20 per 1,000, and though this total is irreatly in excess or the actual ll cure, owing to the general practice of ascrib ing to "fever" deaths which are in re ality duo to other causes, yet it has been estimated, from indications afforded by certain special inquiries and by the dis pensary returns, that the actual death rate from malarial fever is about 5 per 1.000. This represents about 1,130, 000 deaths, and as the mortality in malarial fovcr Is ordinarily low such a death rate indicates a terrible amount of sickness, much of it preventable.
