Extract

The Registrar-General's mortality statistics prove beyond doubt that a marked decline has occurred in the national death rate in recent years. There appears, however, to prevail a singular reluctance to accept this decline of mortality as evidence of the improved health and sanitary condition of the English people, or to recognize that it necessarily implies an increase of the mean duration of life in England.
