Gen. septic. infection retro pharyngeal abcess |
Males, 81; Females, 64; Total, 145, againt 116 for 1886. The increase (29) is
due largely to the extrordinary number of aged persons who departed the past
year. Not less than forty-four had reached the age of sixty years and upwards.
Thirty had survived beyond the traditional three-score-and ten. Eleven has
passed into the eighties, while four--Amherst Messinger, Artemas Bond, John
Mansfield, and Mary Sheehan--were permitted to abide in this vale of tears far
beyond their ninetieth birthday before the summons came to join the invisible
majority. Remembering that this unusual mortality among old people (44) is
nearly one-third of the total for 1887 (145), and that this aggregate is still
less than the total for 1885 (159), it will be readily seen that Natick is a
healthy town. On the basis of our population, carefully estimated, with due
allowance for the increase in births and marriages, the percentage of deaths in
Natick is a little less than fifteen in 1,000--a rate far below the average of
the cities and towns of corresponding size in this Commonwealth. For sanitary
purposes, our town is admirably located, and while the officials in charge,
seconded by the public spirit of the citizens, continue their solicitude for the
cleanliness, drainage and purity of the water supply of Natick, we need have
little fear of any serious visitation of epidemic disease.
