'â- â- >:*m THE NEED FOR VACATIONS At this season of the year, when each of us who has been busy at bis desk for months on end, the following editorial reprinted from the onrr^ot issue of the New York Independent will be oiespecial interest: "So much has been said and quite rightly in recent years about, the great reductions in the death rate in our large cities and the consequent ler^then- ' lng of the average of human life, that many people seem to think that fower personal precautions are needed now to live long tban were required a half ceritury ago. It has been said -that In proportion to the population, at the present time there are probably one-flf*h more people alive above tbe age of fifty than even a generation ago. As a consequence many people seem to think that life now is a much easier ma*teT th»n formerly; and that tho necessity for vacations and periods of rp?t is *iot so great as it used to be. In New York City, for instance, the death rate in the course of a little more ,than a generation has been reduced from 30 to under 15 per thousand on the average. Surely this indicates, most people will BTgue, that tber* is much less reason for solicitude about health than in the past and nine* less reed for sacrifices to preserve it. "Statistics are very curious things. Figures do not lie. but they can be made to lie, and often unconsciously and indeHberately those who quote them accomplish wonderful feats in this direction. The editors of medial j°ur nals have agreed to accept as a guiding maxim an expression which deserves apparently to be in a prominent place in the note book of every one who has much to do with the handling of statistics. The editorial expression is there are three kinds of lies: lies, ------ lies and statistics. The epithet for ------ lies may be supplied acceding to the temper and thp Te'W^jis character of the individual. "The statistics with regard to the death rate, while tbey are eminently encouraging and incontrovertibly true, and while they undoubtedly represent wonderful improvement in health, are not at all what they are thought to be hy those who would argue that they signify a diminution of the need for per- sonal precautions as to health If life is to be maintained and old age reached. For instance, not long since it was suggested that we should go slow in build- ing hospitals in our large cities, and especially the great, costly institutions .that have now become the ruleâ€"and very properly, for the municipality owes It to itself to take care of its citizens', however poor they may be, in a man- ner befitting not them, but itselfâ€"for if the present reduction in the death rate continued, tiiere will soon not be nearly so much need for hospitals as is now the case. It is to be supposed that morbidity, sickness In general, will be reduced at least in proportion to the mortaTity. Therefore hospitals may become to some extent useless. .'--..' r "This argument represents a total misapprehension of the true signifi- cance of our mortality statistics. So far from i educing the necessity tor hospitals, our lowered mortality rate Teally represents a factor that will call for ever-increasing hospital facilities. The reduction in the death rate has come mainly in the early years of life. Nature used to eliminate the weak- lings in early childhood, out now we h*ve modified that to a great extent, but death is still with us «ud is likely to continue to be, and his harvest has •imply been increased 1l tht, years after middle life. The Journal of the American Medical association not long since printed editorially the estimate Jhat while deaths were fewer under thirty to a marked degree, between thirty and forty there had been only about 2 per cent of reduction in the death rate, and in all subsequent decades there was an increase in the num- ber of deaths. Between forty and fifty there were actually 17 per cent more deaths than there had been a generation ago. fTheseere the deaths from degenerative dlseaiie. While our'mortality rate ^smallpox has become a vanishing quantity, and all the other infectious If J*ave ^?n takIn* fewer ^ few«* victims every year, deaths from ^-^ mg***e' ftoM kwney disease and from cancer have been on the In- S^.SS^f6^116 diseases that require hospital treafcneht very often, Wften individuals die young: they are usually treated at their homes, but in : later yejirs sufferers, especially from prolonged diseases such as occur in connection wltbr degenerations ef the kidneys, of the. heart and arteries, and <£ tile cells in malignant disease, are likely to be for some considerable time tn Hospital care. In spite of our falling death rate we shall actually need more, not less-hospital, facilities In the future.
