Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dublin Journal of Medical Science, Vol. 60: July to December, 1875 I have carefully investigated the valuable statistics recorded year by year in the blue books of the Army Medical Department. The value of these statistics for my purpose is, I think, evident. Soldiers' duties are much the same, and they lead a very similar kind of life, wherever stationed; they remain sufficiently long, too, on foreign service to test the effects of the climate. To render the information from this source reliable, I have not made use of statistics for any one year, but for a long series - viz, ten years (1863-187 2 inclusive). It has been asserted that the immunity from phthisis which a certain country may enjoy cannot be accepted as evidence that the country will be beneficial to the actually phthisical - consequently the army statistics would be valueless. But I think it is a reasonable inference that a climate which is not favourable to the development of phthisis will exercise a favourable influence over the disease in the invalid immigrant.
