Statisticians of the Metropoli- tan Life Insurance Company are inclined to believe that pneumonia as a death-dealing disease is wéll on the way to being conquered.

States, that~-in 1939, as well as in 1938, a new low record death--rate . was cstsblished for the disease. And this improvement has, continued into 1940, when a pneumonia death rate of 51.7 per 100,000 . was established during the first four weeks of January, a rate representing a decline of - -33 per cent as.compared with that of the corresponding weeks of 1939.
