strength this year in spite of the loss
of most of last year’s regulars makes
it quite possible for another win by
the Red and White. Gaffney’s pow

This, the report showed, gave a per
centage of 6-10 of one per cent for
the entire number, while the total
death rate (6 of 370) of all patients
admitted was less than 2 per cent.
