By thefe Tables it appears, that upwards of feven 
per Cent, or fomewhat more than a fourteenth ^art of 
Mankind^ die of the Small Tox ; and confequently the 
hazard of dying of that Diftemper, to every individual 
born into the World, is at lead that of one in four- 
teen. And that this Hazard encreafes after the Birth, 
as the Child advances in Age, will appear from what 
follows. 
From this Eftimate it is demonftrable, that, in the 
Cafe of Perfbns actually having the Small Pox, the 
Hazard that they run, one with another, of dying of 
that Diflemper, is greater than that of one in fourteen ; 
or, which is the fame thing, there muf be fewer than 
thirteen^ that recover^ for one that dies of the Small 
Tox. For fince one fourteenth part of Mankind die 
of the Small Pox, and the other thirteen parts die of 
other Difeafes ; if thefe thirteen have all had the Small 
Pox, and recover’d from it, before they fell ill of thole 
other Difeafes of which they died, then juft thirteen 
will have recover’d from the Small Pox, for one that 
dies of that Diftemper : but, as it is notorious, that 
great Numbers, elpecially of young Children, die of 
other Difeafes, without ever having the Small Pox, it 
is plain, that fewer than thirteen muft recover from 
this Diftemper, for one that dies of it. 
To determine exadly how many of thefe thirteen 
Parts of Mankind, die without having the Small Pox, 
is a very difficult Task: but it is eafy to fee, that a 
confiderable Deduction is to be made from them. 
In the firft place, the two Articles of Stilborn and 
Abortive Children-^ which are put into the yearly Bills, 
as part of the Number of Burials, are unqueftionably 
to be deducted.
