The fact that thirty died within the first month, leaving only thirty-one deaths for the remaining eleven months of the first year of life, shows that our chief problem at the present time is still the mortality among the newly born. Out of the thirty babies who died under the age of one month, no less than twenty died...

When the time arrives that routine post mortem examination in all still-births is undertaken, then and then only will direct evidence be ascertainable upon the causes of infant mortality.

This is as it should be, because to my mind a post mortem examination ought to be carried out in the case of every death. I am sure that if post mortem examinations were carried out in the case of all infantile deaths, we should obtain much useful data whereby we could reduce the number of these unfortunate deaths. By ...

During the later months of pregnancy this falling off in the amount of haemoglobin, as the red colouring matter is named, is met with even in fine, upstanding and well fed athletic women, and of course where you have this abnormal drain upon the resources of the expectant mother it is not to be expected that some added...

There can be no doubt, particularly with regard to "catching diseases" that the more densely people are herded together, the less opportunity will there be for limiting any minor outbreak of infection. I am the more persuaded in this opinion, owing to the fact that Barking is a dormitory town, where there is no present...
