    ^7 BRONCHITIS AND PNEUMONIA. These two diseases show high rates of mortality for the year because of their association with Influenza and with Measles, which were the chief killing diseases of 1918. The death rate from pneumonia was the highest ever recorded but, bearing in mind the nature of the Influenza epidemic, this fact is not surprising. Many cases of Influenza succumbed to a secondary attack of Pneumonia, Bronchitis. 1 Year Deaths.
