Persons inclined towards superstition might regard the Ides of March with all the concern that moved the celebrated soothslayer to warn the even more celebrated Caesar against that period.

Scarlet fever prevalence is at its seasonal maximum. Measles is on an upward trend approaching its highest annual peak. Whooping cough is wide-spread. Smallpox is apt to be widely distributed. Mortality from tuberculosis reaches its highest monthly point. This is a dark sort of picture but that can't be helped until the facts are changed. Knowing that these conditions have prevailed in the past and having every reason to believe that this year will prove no exception to the rule ought to be helpful* however. were reported in 1928, but there were 17,000 in 1927, he said.
