Сторінка 242 - Morselli, from whose laborious monograph these figures are taken, says that "in the aggregate of the civilized States of Europe and America the frequency of suicide shows a growing and uniform increase, so that generally voluntary death since the beginning of the century has increased and goes on increasing more rapidly than the geometrical augmentation of the population and of the general mortality...
Сторінка 113 - See also, for instance, Mayo-Smith, Richmond, Statistics and Sociology, p. 113, New York, 1910 : " Dr. Farr calculated that the interval between the mean age of mothers at marriage and their mean age at the births of their children is about six years.
