    Class IX.—Diseases op the Joints. 1. Rheumatism. The British Empire has one 97 case under this head, occurring in an old gentleman of tfj^''^ 76. The details are very meagre. He is said to have been ill 3 months ; but the medical attendance was only of a week's duration, and we have no information as to the form or seat of the disease: only that for the last 3 weeks of life he was in a condition of great debility. Five cases are classed under this head within the first 37 years (1815 to 1852) of the Scottish Widows' Fund. One between 30 and 40 years of age; one between 40 and 50; one between 50 and 60 ; two between 60 and 70. Within the following 7 years (1853 to 1859) seven deaths from Rheumatism are entered, of which four happened between 40 and 50 years of age ; two between 50 and 60 ; one between 60 and 70. Two deaths from RheuTtiatism occurred in the last quinquennium of the Standard (1850 to 1855). Only one death from Rheumatism appears in Dr. Burt's records of the North British. This occurred 10 months after Assurance. The expecta- tion was 2,5.71 years. The per centage on total mortality, .07. 2. Diseases of Joints, and Surgical Injuries.
