The average death-rate from that disease for the past four years was, Avhites 1.17 per thousand, colored 3.28. F'or the purpose of obtaining more accurate data we have compiled the following from some of the largest cities whose reports are believed to be reliable: 1893. Wilmington, W. 1.6G, per M. 1 in 8.12 of all deaths, C. 3.84, 1 in 6.06 Raleigh, W. 1.85, '' '' 1 ^^ 8.84 '' '' ^^ C. 3.85, 1 5.63 Charlotte, W. 1.33, ^^ 1 lO.lG C. 4.80, 1 ^^ 5.25 1804. Wihuington, W. 1.33, per M. 1 in 8.41 of all deaths, C. 3.77, 1 in 6.28 Raleigh, AV. 1.87, " 1 " 8.40 " C. 2.57, 1 8.38 Charlotte, W. 2.00, 6.83'* C. 4.33, 1 5.19 Winston, W. 1.15, '' 1 '' 8.66 " C. 9.37, 1 2.95 The average for the three cities in 1893 was whites 1.61, colored 4.16 per thonsand, and for the four cities in 1894, whites 1.59, colored 5.01. This great disparity in the death-rate from consumption is attributable to a number of causes. They are, we think, insufficient clothing, the lack of tire in winter, the want of an abundance of good, nutritious food, the lack of proper care in sickness, the greater prevalence of syphilis among them, that disease being conducive to tuberculosis, and over-crowding in the most insalubrious parts of the "cities and towns. It is to be noted that the figures given apply only to the cities and towns. The disease is doubtless less prevalent in the countrv, but even there it is much more common than formerlv.
