But, in the European forces of Beno-al in the years 1843 to 1846-7, the rate of Cholera deaths per l,OOoVthe strength was 13-5. The next two years the rate was 4 8 and G-7 and then, m 1849-50, it rose to 12-6per 1,000. Two years of great quiescence were followed in 1852-3 and 1853-4 by the high rates of 13-4 and 11-9 Then agam there followed two years of great quiet, succeeded by six vears of activity, during which the rates were 33-05; 9-16; 8-67; 12-04 • 23-73, and 9-61 and finally four quiet years were followed in 1867 by a rate of 13'84 per 1,000.
