NOTE: In 1900 or thereabouts, the death rates at the middle ages of life were heavier in the United States than in Prussia, France, Italy, and Sweden. Since then the death rates in the United States at these ages have grown even greater. In the foreign countries the death rate by persons can be approximated by adding the rates for males and females of same age and dividing by two. [N] 12th Census.
