of the Massachusetts Board of Health. The health of the city of Cambridge is not a matter of guesswork, but stands accurately recorded in the pages of the registration reports of the State and in the successive volumes of the Census of the United States. Of the diseases which prevailed here before the first registration report in 1841, we know but little. When some disease broke out in the form of an epidemic—like smallpox, the dysentery, or malignant sore-throat, we find contemporary reBoard of Health which has been in existence for nearly twenty years. Under all these favoring influences the city has made a record in healthfulness of which she may well feel proud, for she stood at the head of the list of thirty-one registration cities which were selected for comparison from the whole country in the Tenth Census of the United States. In that year there died in Cambridge only 17.46 persons for 1,000 living,—a rate not equaled by any city of 50,000 inhabitants in the count

In Cambridge 19.89 persons died out of every 1,000 in the course of the census year; in Boston in the same year there died 24.7

Of the diseases which prevailed here before the first registration report in 1841, we know but little. When some disease broke out in the form of an epidemic—like smallpox, the dysentery, or malignant sore-throat, we find contemporary records perhaps of the numbers of those dying from these diseases, but more than this we cannot now ascertain. The situation seems to have been always considered a healthful one, however, notwithstanding the large area of low-lying land in the town itself and in the surrounding country.
