We have long believed, and are now prepared to show by facts, figures and an experience of twenty-one years in the Health Department of Montgomery, that it is entitled to rank amongst the healthiest cities in America. We make this assertion in no boastful spirit, but with security born of experience, and sustained by the following carefully prepared statistical tables, compiled from data furnished by a number of American and foreign cities: | | ANNUAL DEATH AMERICA. | POPULATION. | RATE PER 1,000. -----------------------|-------------|---------------- Baltimore, Md. | 400,000 | 19.63 Brooklyn, N.
