Death Rate Decreased From
174.5 to 139.7 Per 100,000
Population in Last Decade.
WASHINGTON, May 9. That the
death rate in the United States from
tuberculosis during the decade end
ing in 1910 has diminished from 174.5
per 100,000 of population to 139.7 was
the statement made here by Dr.
Frederick L. Hoffman of Newark, in
an address before the sociological
section of the National association
for the study and prevention of tu
berculosis.
“In other words,” said Dr. Hoff
man. "nearly 200,000 lives were saved
from 1909 to 1910, in the campaign
against this disease.”
Dr. Hoffman stated that the death
rate in New York City, 289.1 in 1881,
had declined to 180.1 in 1912. He
made no mention of any so-called
“cures.”
Surgeon B. S. Warren, of the U. S.
Public Health Service, affirmed
that deaths of government employees
from tuberculosis were much lower
than that of other laborers in similar
occupations, because of the superior
sanitary conditions.”
"About 50,000 new cases of tuber
culosis are constantly drifting about
the country for long periods without
even consulting physicians,” was the
statement by Dr Har^y Lee Barnes,
superintendent of the Rhode Island
State Sanitarium.

Nature has a remedy for catarrh

In using Hyomei you are treating
your catarrhal troubles with the na
tural remedy, for it gives a curative
bath to the air passages. It has a
powerful healing and antiseptic ef
fect similar to the air in the moun
tains where the forests give off the
fragrant and healing balsams.
Hyomei has benefited so many suf
