THE LOCAL HABITATIONS OF DIS- EASES SHOWN ON THE MAP.

Arenas Fatal to Health That Can Be Clear- ly and Permanently Indicated—Pecul- iarities of Consumptien and Cancer In | Great Britain.

|

It is common knowledge that diseases | have as a rule their local habitations. home, like tropical animals and plants, live only in the .tropics; some. like onm- sumption, are gradually spreading over the whole earth; others, like leprosy an umallpox, are gradually becoming limited tn their distribution, and may actually be tending toward extinction. Again, there are regions to which diseases have never reached. On the summits of high moun- tain ranges and in the ecircumpolar snow: fields the earth and air and water are as barren of the microbes of disease as they are of animal life. Without question, it Nansen and his companion had been ex- posed to the same hardships and the same unsanitary conditions in these islands, the lowered vitality of thelr bodies certainly would have been unable to resist. the con- tinual bombardment of germs to which we all are subjected.

In a country like Britain, thickly popu- lated for many centuries and with the freest circulation of population, it cannot be doubted that every yard of surface con- tains the germs of the more common dis- eases, and the native ef some newer land, brought over here, falls a victim to our plague stricken soil. By generations of a destructive elimination we have become highly resistant to our native diseases, just as the Gold Coast natives are less sus- ceptible than we are to their own local dis- eases. But we are not fully protected, and cancer and consumption, two of our com- mon scourges, still take a large annual toll. It may be assumed that both are due td micro organisms, the microbe of con- sumption being well known, that of can- cer being as yet only suspected. Probably no inhabitant of Britain escapes infection by the cancer organism; certainly none escapes infection by the microbe of tuber- cle. Most of us, fortunately, resist the in- truders and are unaffected by the disease.

A strikingly interesting result becemes plain when the Incidence of fatal cases is plotted out on a map. The usual method is to color the districts with different shades according to their rates of mertal- ity. Blue is chosen for high mortalities, red for low mortalities, the deepest blue showing the highest and the deepest red the lowest rate. When two maps colored in this way for cancer and consumption are compared, it is at once evident that the incidence of the diseases is not capri- cious. The shades do not form a meaning- less patchwork, but show at the first glance a strikingly regular distribution. The one map forms almost exactly a complement of the other. The deep blue of cancer high mortality coincides with the deep red of consumption low mortality. Where the consumption mortality is highest that from cancer is lowest, and, on the whole, there isa similar inverse correspondence between intermediate rates of mortality.

When the mortality maps are compared with a good physical map, it may be seen that the structural features of the country are in direct relation to the death rates. The deep blue of cancer high mortality prevails in low lying, well protected river valleys, where fully formed rivers fiow down to the sea between low banks, cut- ting their way through beds of clay and recent alluvial soil. In fact, where sea- sonal floods are frequent and strong sea winds rarely flush out the protected val- leys, there cancer prevails and finds its fattest harvest. The lower courses of the greater rivers from the Tweed to the Thames and from the Stour to the Tamar, the rivers of north Devon, the Severn and Dee, are all thickly set with the blue can- cer patches. On the other hand, the low- est mortality groups occur on high up- land downs, along the watersheds, and especially where ridges of limestone rock rear themselves above tne surrounding country. In the sheltered valleys where cancer prevails, notwithstanding the dampness and periodcal flooding, the very lowest mortality rates from consumption

F Although _the contrast between con-

sumption and cancer is vo turiniug co ve purely a coincidence, it cannot be said that enough is known to explain it by ultimate

causes. The therapeutic value of exposure to constant supplies of pure air is evident enough in all diseases that affect the: gen- eral vitality of the body. It is more than probable that the low cancer’ mortality in

Some ef them are still able to maintain an existence: out- side the bodies of their victims;.and the relation of cancer to clay soilsand flooded districts suggests that it may not yet. have reached a purely parasitic stage. Other and more specialized microbes apparently have lost their primitive capacity to live a free life, and their specialization is pre- paring the way for their extinction. If the wicrobes die unless they reach quickly an- other living host, isolation. of infected cases, carried out thoreughly, will ulti- mately rid us of their existence.

The prevalence of consumptiom in the otherwise healthiest districts is.an accident of our contaminated Jand. @n loftyAlpine summits, or where the sea.winds sweep paross the decks of ocean vessels, or on the desert wind blown sierras, people are not struck down with consumption, and even those already affected, unless they are nearly at death’s door, find new health in the keen air. But our owm land is full of the plague. The winds, elsewhere healing, bring with them new seeds of disease. The slightest chill or the tickling of a delicate lung with salt air prepares the way for the omnipresent. parasite. Colds that would vanish in a,night in.a healthy land become fatal here, and: those with a consti- tution unadapted to resist the microbe fall victims to an exposure that in itself is in- pocuous or even. beneficial.—London Sat- urday Review.

A Writer’s Emotions.

It is my contemptible weakness that if I say a character smiled vacuously, I must smile vacuously,. if he frowns or leers, I frown or leer, if be is a coward or given to contortion, I cringe or twist my legs until I have to stop writing to undo the knot. I bow with him, eat with him and gnaw my mustache with him. If the charaoter be a lady with an exquisite laugh, I sud- denly terrify: you by laughing exquisitely. —J. M. Barrie.
