Excerpt from The Untilled Fields of Public Health According to the Director of the Census the hye principal causes of death in the Registration Area of the United States for 1916 with the number of deaths caused by each were as follows: Heart dis eases, tuberculosis. Pneumonia. Bright's dis ease, and cancer, Of these five causes of death there are two, pneumonia and tuberculosis in which the sanitation of living and work places, the isolation of the infected individual, and in the case of pneumonia, the use of sera and vaccines.
