The death rate has already increased by 50%. Eventhough mortality has increased, it has remained less than the birthrate and the population has not decreased.

- ... my life and have great reason to be contented with it. Were I to undertake to answer the calumnies of the newspapers, it would be more than all my own time, and that of twenty aids could effect.
