The year 1903 must always be looked upon as quite exceptional, as owing to the heavy rainfall we had very little diarrhœa. It was the zymotic diarrhœa that swelled the deathrate, but other causes of our Infant Mortality were— Premature Birth.—Twenty deaths of Infants were registered as due to premature birth. This is d...

In either of the above cases...

There is no doubt that the establishment of a creche would remove one of the most important predisposing causes, and it is very unfortunate that the measure for providing the same which came before Parliament in the Acton Improvement Act was lost.
