Excerpt from A Statistical Study of Infant Mortality Considerably more than a generation ago (in 1865), Dr. Farr brought the subject of Infant Mortality before the [Royal] Statistical Society, and frequently discussed it in his historic contributions to the annual reports of the Registrar-General's office. On December 19, 1893, Dr. Hugh R. Jones read before the Royal Statistical Society an exhaustive paper on "The Perils and Protection of Infant Life," which had the distinction of being the Howard Medal Prize Essay of that year. In the interim of more than forty years since Dr. Farr inaugurated the statistical discussion, so to speak, infant mortality has been a prolific subject in medical works and journals, has received perennial treatment in the reports of practically all bureaus of vital statistics, and the bibliography of the subject even up to ten years ago would constitute quite an impressive library, were all the papers on, and extended references to, this particular phase of human mortality assembled and properly indexed. In a general way, however, it may be said that only within the last few years has the topic been presented in such a light as to attract serious attention at the hands of the public at large, the discussion up to the end of the nineteenth century having practically been restricted to medical men, government officials, and professional statisticians.

Excerpt from Infant Mortality: A Social Problem Uri N G the last five years my work in Fins bury has necessitated a careful study of the problem of infant mortality. This book is part of the outcome. It is an attempt to state in a plain way the chief facts concerning a question which is not without national importance. The young of all animals are more susceptible than the adult to the influence of environment and the approach of death. Hence, it is inevitable that, even under the most favourable circumstances, the deaths of infants will furnish a large contribution to the bills of mortality. As civilisation advances, however, this should become less. That it does not, in fact, become substantially less is surely a matter calling for consideration, for' at the present time there is an annual loss to England and Wales of lives by the death of infants. In past years there has been a similar drain upon the national resources of life. But, it should not be forgotten that a rapidly declining birth-rate means that this loss of life is now operating in conjunction with a diminished income.

Excerpt from Infant Mortality in New York City: A Study of the Results Accomplished by Infant-Life Saving Agencies, 1885-1920 The details upon which this report is based were collected in 1915 and 1916 for the immediate purposes of the International Health Board. Typewritten copies of the study were, however, made available to interested persons on request. Since then there has been a growing demand that the report be published. It was finally decided to do this after the Department of Health of New York City had given its ready consent. All important tables and graphs have been brought up to date. The text, however, as will be noted, deals with the material which was in hand when the study was closed in 1916. There have been no developments since that time in the field of infant care in New York City of such importance as to call for modification of the general conclusions arrived at in 1916.

Excerpt from Infant Mortality: Results of a Field Study in Manchester, N. H., Based on Births in One Year Because of incomplete registration of births and deaths infant mor tality rates are not available for all cities in the United States, but only for those cities in which such registration is considered to be 90 per cent complete. Of such cities, according to the table, only two, Holyoke and Lowell, have higher infant mortality rates than Man chester, and the high rate in Holyoke is perhaps due in part to the presence there of a large infant asylum which receives infants born in other cities. For the registration States,1 which in 1910 comprised per cent of the population and per cent of the land area of the United States, the infant mortality rate for 1910 was 124, as computed by the Bureau of the Census. In other words, for every eight births there Was one infant death. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
