For any age group, the mortality has declined considerably over the period considered. In fact, the rates in the most recent years are only some 20% of the rates holding in 1908 to 1910. This effect cannot be ascribed to improvements in medical science, with the possible exception of the improvement between the period 1931 to 1940 and the latest period 1941 to 1945, possibly partly owing to the sulphonamide drugs and to the antibiotics.
