Miasmatic Diseases.-This Table shows that Miasmatic Diseases,
as a whole, were most fatal in the first quarter, due chiefly to the
mortality from Measles, which was greatest in that period.
Diphtheria and Whooping Cough were most fatally prevalent in the
second quarter, Smallpox in the third, and Enteric Fever in the third
and fourth quarters.
