The latent report on mortality in the "reg titration area" of Ihe Uuied Staes, re lating to the calendar year 1913 recent ly issued by the lltireiu of the Cell aus. Department of Commerce, con tains some interesting and significant figures with reference to the principal causes of death in this country. More than one-half of all the deaths in the registration area wtjich in 1913 con tnincd about 65 per rent of the total population of the United States- were due to nine causes: Tubercu losis." heart diseases, pneumonia Uright's disease :nd nephritis, diahr rhra and enteritis, cancer, r.ppoplrxy, diphtheria and croup, and typhoid fe ver. The first three of these maladies alone were responsible for more than 30 per rent of the total mortaliy re ported for that year. The dealt rate from these nine causes combined in 1913 was 810.4 per 100,000 population. This is a material decrease from the corres ponding rale in 19IIO-9.17 4 per 1000. 000 when Ihe Census KiirrsMt made its first annual collection of mortality statistics. The number of deaths re sulting from these causes, however, formed a somewhat greater propor tion of the total reported mortality in 1913 than in I90OS7 per cent in the latter year as compared with 53 per cent in the earlier.
