Cost of Typhoid.
It is hard to state human lives In
terms of dollars and cents, but prob-
ably Dr. McLaughlin did not exagger-
ate in telling the Association of Life
Insurance presidents in New York that
typhoid is costing the United States
$100,000,000 a year. Incidentally It
kills 25,000 people, or as many as a
considerable war, and to life insurance
men that is not a merely sentimental
argument. That the greater part of
this loss is avoidable appears from
the fact that in 50 of our largest cities
the death rate per 100,000 from ty-
phoid is 26, while in 33 of the principal
cities of northern Europe it is but 644.
That means that some 18,000 of the
25.000 who die every year from ty-
phold fever in the United States might
probably be saved by better sanitation.
This is a reform upon which effort |
should be strongly concentrated. |
