Now if we take theStates that have adopted a system of registration, we findsomething more significant. In the accompanying table,taken from the United States Government mortality records,which I have arranged in the order of highest mortality forthe year 1913, there is a decided grouping. The New. THE CHOICE OF A CLIMATE IX NEPHRITIS England and Middle States, together with Maryland andNorth Carolina, fall in the upper division of high mortality,while the lower division of least mortality is almost ex-clusively made up from Central and Western States. A glance at the accompanying table shows at once thatthe geographical grouping is marked. Perhaps we may seein this table some solution to our problem. Turning now to clinical evidence as to climatic influenceon acute and chronic kidney diseases we find some interest-ing observations which may lead to some practical con-clusion. The most useful studies in this particular seemto have been made in Colorado and Texas. Dr. Sewall has reviewed this whole subject in a carefulpaper which gives us some insight into the problems in-volved. Making his observations at Denver, elevation5,280 ft., he has clinical evidence that cases of acutenephritis subside apparently as
