Note 11 — Chapter XLIV · THE PRIMORSK OR SEA-COAST PROVINCE.

The most frequent maladies were inflammation of the lungs, bowels, and womb, and heart disease. Under the head of epidemics it seemed that during the year typhoid fever broke out at Nikolaefsk and carried off 21 men. A like visitation, lasting for 18 days, in the Khanka district caused about the same number of deaths. At Sophiisk and Udskoi 248 men were struck down, of whom, however, 244 recovered. The deaths by accident and suicide in the province amounted to 21, ten more than in the preceding year.
