Lo, THE Poor IyPANT,-The great increase
OF infant mortality is beginning to excite atten-
uon. 1t Is stated that one half the deaths
which occur in the city Of New York are of chill
dren under i've years of age The subject has
attracted the special attention of Dr. Meredith
Reese, who has made an elaborate report upon
" Infant Mortality in Large Cities 1t is
stated that while in the cities of tho Old World
the mortality Of infancy has been diminishing
Tor many years, 1t has been increasing at a
fearful rate in Our American cities In I848
there were in tn tcity ,jS5 deaths among chill
dren under 1--we years OF age in 1853 the num-
brr reached II, 962, an increase in ten years of
5,37j. This is an appalling fact; one which
must arrest the attention of every friend Of hu-
manity. The tables show that the infant NOR
tillty there Il greater than il is in Paris and 3
per cent. greater than it is in London IIay-
ing noted these startling facts
DR.. Reese proceeds to state to what causes
he deems this fearful amount of mortality is to
be attributed. First, he states that MANY die
Of lnanitiOn from defective vitality at birth
Secondly, that mismanagcment of infants by
parents, nurses. or doctors whereby they are
deprived Of their natural food and dosed with
slOps, teas, and drugs. Not only he saws, are
mOlasses or sugar and water. olive or castor
oil, goose greese, and the like administered
but even salt and water, SCOT tea and ginsIing
forced into the infants throat before it has

this treatment, their deaths being attributed
to collie. diarrhea, dysentery, or commissions
Thirdly, many infants are born in places which
are deficient in ventilation and cleanliness and
where the light Of heaven does not reach,
where the mother is deprived Of wholesome
food, and Of the comforts which arc necessary
to health, and which will enable her to furnish
her child It's natural sustenance Lastly. many
fall victims to the nostrums Of quack doctors,
whose medicines are specifies for all the ills of
human nature; while others inherit from their
parents various diseases, by which their blood
is contaminated and the seeds of death planted
ere the child comes into the world
Legal remedies are proposed, but the diff
Guilty Of making these effective must always
exist in a country like this, where the largest
liberty is claimed in marital as well as all
other matters affecting the public morality or
the public veal.
