Rates for short periods, or which deal with small numbers, are only approximate, and sometimes misleading, since temporary causes may have been in operation, and small numbers do not eliminate or balance errors which practically disappear in large aggregates. So, five or ten years analyses are much more important than any single year. The number of deaths before twenty, in proportion to the rest, are much more informatory as to local causes affecting health, than the total deaths. So, also, the number dying from the zymotic diseases, and especially from fevers, croup, diphtheria, diarrheal diseases, consumption, and brain and nervous diseases of children.

September, reckoned for the remaining population, is a fair criterion of the health of locality, or at least should be considered for purposes of correction. So health laws are remove themselves instead of removing the evils which distress and sicken those who remain.
