Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Statistics of Mortality From Pulmonary Phthisis in the United States and in Europe Now, as far as numbers are concerned, their value lies not in themselves alone, hut in their supplying a foundation for the laws that are deduced from them. But before we can proceed to deduce laws, we must at first he amply provided with facts of experience, and a vast amount of correct comparative data; and it is this invaluable material that statistics supply. One of the most difficult, but at the same time also the most beneficial and interesting problems which statistical science is called upon to solve in the department of medicine, is the investigation of laws which determine the life-and death-rate of individuals and entire communities, and consequently their condition of health and disease. Before we can successfully wage war against any disease, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of its primary causes, and for this reason statistics are the surest aid to hygiene. In how great a measure the want of this understanding is felt by all who have the public welfare in this respect at hearty may be seen from the numerous efforts, not alone of private corporations, but also of City and State authorities. Throughout the whole country we observe great efforts made to establish offices for keeping records of vital statistics, in order to investigate the cause and spread of disease, and to discover as well as mitigate those evil influences that enhance its progress. The greater share in this highly commendable undertaking may justly be claimed by the Boards of Health in various cities of the Union, whose reports are published with an accuracy and minuteness of detail worthy of all praise and approbation. Next in order, the State Boards of Health have deserved great credit for discovering and removing many hotbeds of disease.
