Excerpt from Summary of Experience on Disease, and Comparative Rates of Mortality I AM now entering upon the most important sum mary it will be my duty to lay before your Honourable Board. The subject is properly made more prominent than any other in the respective Reports upon the towns visited, and you will therefore permit me to extend this summary beyond the space occupied by those hitherto presented. In about 40 preliminary inquiries made during the last two years I have invariably inspected the local seats of disease, taken the personal testimony of the poor people residing there, made my own observations, and examined in the aggregate 105 medical witnesses. It will be obvious that important information has been thus accumulated, which in extenso would be very volumi nous. This I shall condense to the utmost possible extent, giving merely the principal facts under the head of each place visited.
