1 / if Thursday, Kovembe, 21, 1935 PNEUMONIA SEASON ' V . The principal pneumonia season lies fist ahead. From December to April III normal years this disease is responsible for fully twice the mortal- ' ity attributed to tuberculosis. It causes a greater number of deaths during those months than any other disease except heart impairment, cancer and nephritis. Deaths from pneumonia in Illinois during that period range from 600 to 900 per month, •from December to April last winter • pneumonia was charged with 3,223 deaths compared with 1,368 attributed to, tuberculosis. Age plays an important part in determining the risk of pneumonia. So does place of residence. Males <*are more liable to the disease than females. Neither of these factors is responsible for pneumonia but either may determine whether or not an individual is affected by the disease at a particular time. Babies under one year of. age are more liable to have fatal pneumonia, than people of any other age. Those over sgventy-five rank next highest in liability to the disease. On the other hand, pneumonia appears among the six leading causes of death at every age throughout the whole life span. For babies under one year, pneumonia ranks second only to pre- ' - . 5 X * * ^ ^ vf **4 V' '•* Wl V 'v ATTENTION POULTRY ' Valuable Aid On* * « *r/ V V ' ,f"( ,V 1 Poultry Diseases FREE v Have received a limited numbf# '"' ~ "" of copies of a very practical textbook on poultry diseases.

BOLGER mature birth as the chief cause of death. * Pneumonia is the leading cause of death among children from one to four. It is not the leading cause of death in any other age group but for each age group it ranks among the %*st half dozen. Boys and girls in the ten to fourteen age group are the least liable "of all people to pneumonia. Last year tlje death rate from pneumonia among all age group was 75 per 100,000 people. For infants it was 714; for people over seventy- five it was about 650; for the ten to fourteen age group it was 8. Mortality from pneumonia is persistently higher in some localities than in others. City populations usually experience higher rates than do rural Even so the rates vary widely between cities and between rural communities. Thus in 1934 there were twelve cities of Illinois which had rates exceeding 100 deaths, per 100,000 population while ten others had rates of less than 31. Likewise there vtei'e thirteen counties which had rates in excess of 100 and seven with rates below 30. «;•_ While much still remains to be learned about the causes of pneumonia, infectiousness is undoubtedly the factor and a good deal is -known about predisposing influences. . The effect of weather conditions is .unmistakable although the higher prevalence rates of winter may result more from inadequate ventilation, crowded living and working quarters and indoor life than from variations in temperature and precipation. Occupation influences the liability to pneumonia. Steel workers, for example, suffer a much higher death rate than wage earners in other industries. Furthermoe, those steel wokers employed in strenuous jobs which expose them to sudden and wide variations in temperature experience higher rates than do other steel workers doing less strenuous labor and .subjected to less radical changes in temperature. The pneumonia rate is also high among people employed in dusty trades such as coal mining. Perhaps the most important of all predisposing factors to pneumonia i3 the onset of some other disease or the shock from a severe injury. Influenza, colds measles and whooping cough frequently pave the way for the more fatal pneumonia. , Any condition which uses up the physical resources of the body, such as illness, fatigue, undernourishment, ladk of sleep, exposure to sudden and violent changes of temperature and over-in- 'dulgencc in alcoholic drink may bring on this very common and very fatal disease.
