Abstract
PNEUMONIA, as a cause of national mortality, has long been a matter of concern to public health authorities. In 1934, for example, this disease was responsible for 28,623 deaths in England and Wales, and in times of influenza prevalence the mortality may reach a much higher figure. The Ministry of Health has, therefore, issued a Memorandum (Memo. 189 Med.) with covering circular (No. 1499) on the subject for the use of public health authorities, in which the classification and bacteriology, its prophylaxis and the general administrative measures applicable, are dealt with (H.M. Stationery Office. Id. net).
