FIFTEENTH BIEJs^NIAL REPORT 77 Chart No. 5. Shows the actual number of deaths occurring in the State with the death rates shown on Chart No. 4, which were compiled from one-sixth of the State's population made to apply to the entire State. ESTIMATED TOTAL DEATHS IN NORTH CAROLINA, 1911-1912. Causes Occurring 1911 Occurring 1912 Would Occur with Average Death Rate All causes_______________________________ 42,027 40,893 23,563 Tuberc ulosis______________________________ 5,805 5,541 3,587 Pneumonia_______________________________ 2,746 1.978 3,305 Typhoid fever____________________________ 1,624 992 526 Diarrhea (under two years)_______________ 3,812 3,329 2,555 Malaria................................... 570 803 Whooping cough.......................... 1,201 668 255 Measles___________________________________ 392 227 275 Scarlet fever.............................. 661 49 260 Diphtheria________________________________ 239 312 479 Chart No. 6. Contains more encouragement than all other facts connected with the health work of this State with which the writer is familiar. It shows changes in the general death rate from 1910 to 1912, and shows further that the reduction in the general death rate has been due to a decrease in the death rate of preventable diseases, and that the death rate from the nonpreventable diseases has remained, during this time, stationary. Of course, the encouragement that this chart gives is circumstantial evidence, not conclusive, but it is a mighty good remedy in times of discouragement.
