It may be safe to assume that some of the foregoing tables and calculations are not strictly correct, and this remark applies officially and perhaps alone to the calculations embracing the entire population: the same causes of inaccuracy have existed in the two previous years, and there can be no doubt that they will always possess an average and uniform proportion to the truth. This fact indeed is made apparent by a comparison with the sectional statistics, which are known to be accurate.
What inference is to be drawn from the whole? We learn that, with reference to every class of persons, the last year has been remarkable for its exemption from endemic diseases, and for a low scale of mortality. It is a gratifying discovery to make, yet it may be the cause of falling into a state of fatuous security, and of concealing from us the dangers which surround us.
The sources of malaria and pestilence are hardly fewer now than they existed years ago; heretofore, sinks of decomposition and laboratories of poisonous gases, but the atmospherical agencies for bringing them into dangerous affinities have been wanting. It is well to consider this fact, and to believe it, viz., that the atmospherical influences are beyond our control, but we can abate the evil of animal and vegetable decomposition.
