Upon this subject I bee; leave to refer to the admirable suofo-Gstions and example of Dr. Brinsmade, of Troy, New York, who has incited the inaugura- tion of a system for such registration of medical facts. He remarks that "many must enter upon the practice with zeal and persever- ance." It is not a small thing that we found no deadly footfalls of the pestilence in the House of Industry and the Mission Houses the past summer, in the very focus of the epidemic; nor is it a matter of indifference... that scarlatina and diphtheria are now most fatal in the vicinity of neglected and foul privies, and that, as winter draws on, we find fifteen, twenty, and even twenty-five per cent, of the inmates of certain unventilated, close-packed tenements so ill as to require nursing or medical care; nor is it unimportant to the poor, nor to the public that pays for pauperized widowhood and orphanage, that there are wards in certain public hospitals among us in which the chances of life to a surarical case are reduced nearly one-half by being placed in them for operation and treat- ment.
