Four such deaths occurred in January, 1941’, and 53 during last year, but this figure was decidedly lower than the 1940 total, which was ll2. This marked decline was attrlbu- ted by physicians to new methods of treatment, which has proved highly successful. With 1,862 chalked up hi 1941 deaths from preventabie acci dents continued to mount with the advent of 1942, the number reported in January having been 167, as compared with 149 in January 1941, which ushered’in a year marked by an all-tijne high.
