c. to practical homœopathists. We find the "Atlantic Mutual" making the following deductions:
First. "That practical Homœopathists enjoy more robust health."
Second. "That they are less frequently attacked by disease."
Third. "When attacked, they recover more rapidly than those treated by any other system."
Fourth. "That the mortality in the more fatal forms of disease is small compared with that under Allopathic treatment."
Fifth. "That many diseases, which are incurable under any other system, are curable under Homœopathic treatment."
This statement is followed by a general summary from carefully prepared tables, comprising a large mass of statistics, collected from all parts of the world, and embracing the records of the treatment of some 300,000 cases of disease. We find that the ratio of mortality between Homœopathic and Allopathic treatment, omitting the fractions, to be,—
In General diseases as 4 to 13
" Cholera, as 16 to 49
" Typhus fever, as 8 to 33
" Yellow fever, as 5 to 43
" Pneumonia, as 5 to 31
The general average of all diseases being as 8 to 34, while the average length of sickness under the two systems, is as 2 to 3, a clear gain of over fifty
