Excerpt from Sanitary Engineering: North Carolina Board of Health Death rates lowered by sanitary works. - We are told upon the best authority that in England there occurs annually upwards of four million cases of preventable sickness; and that 125,000 persons are premature cut off every year from a neglect of sanitary precautions. Now if this be true in a country which has adopted the best known sanitary precautions, at great expense, how much more significant will the records in this State appear, where the only outlay that may be classed under the head "sanitary," is generally made in meeting doctors' bills and funeral expenses. It is further stated that in England, since the sanitary precautions have been instituted, that the death rate has been lowered by from one-fourth to one-third, and is besides decreasing from year to year. The following table, referring to a jew localities in England, taken from Latham's "Sanitary Engineering," speaks more forcibly than all the other arguments that may be presented, especially to those who have paid but little attention to sanitary subjects, and are inclined to be skeptical as to the great actual saving of life that may be attained.
