the general death rate be-
gin an upward trend.
J Tracti ally all of the in-
crease in the mortality during
the first nine months of 1947
may be attributed to the
steadily mounting toll’of death
levied against the population
by heart disease, cancer, and
apoplexy.
C o n s i derable satisfaction
should come to those engaged
in public health- work in
knowing that during the first
three ouarters of 1947 the
lowest death rates ever record-
ed in Texas were reached for
the following** diseases: ty-
phoid fever, diarrhea ’ and
dysentery, scarlet^fevCr, diph-
theria. measles, poliomyelitis,
tuberculosis, malaria,, syphil-
lis, pellagra, and typhus
fever.
