Thus in seven out of twenty camps of which we have record the incidence of the disease was actually greater among colored. The severity of the disease among the two races varied so widely that we suspect the introduction of other influences, such as fatigue and immunity and length of service. Pneumonia was more pronounced among negroes in nine camps and less pronounced in two. At Johnston pneumonia followed in 21 per cent of the white influenza patients and in but fifteen per cent of the colored. At Eustis only 12 per cent of the white influenza patients contracted pneumonia as against 40 per cent of the colored. Grouping the numbers from all camps concerned, we find that 19.G per cent of white influenza patients contracted pneumonia. Among 13,266 colored influenza patients, 20.5 per cent had pneumonia. Thus for every 100 white influenza patients contracting pneumonia, there were 105 colored. The case fatality among the colored pneumonia patients was very slightly greater than among the whites. Six camps--Bragg, Eustis, Greene, Wadsworth, Beauregard and Dodge, witnessed greater fatality among the negroes. Six other camps--Bowie, Devens, Johnston, Pike, Dix and Travis, had less fatality among the negroes. The white fatality was about 2.5 times greater at Dix and more than twice as great at Johnston. In no instance did the colored fatality exceed the white by over 30 per cent. Among 12,050 white pneumonia patients, the pro-portion dying was 24.7 per cent. Among 2771 colored pneumonia patients the mortality was 25.9 per cent. For every 100 white patients dying there were 105 colored. This relation is based ...
