THE MORTALITY IN 1876.

TENEMENT SLAUGHTER PENs-THE BOARD OF
HEALTH FIGHTING FOR THE cHILDRENs s
LIVES.
The annual report OF the Board OF Health in so far
as IT relates to the vital statistics for 1876 has somc
features that arc worthy OF public consideration The
first is that H. 2OS children under five years OF age died
IN this city during the year. This is startling cx-
bibit when IL is known that the most careful computa-
ton gives the number of children in New York. In
1876 under avo years old, 100000 Ofthcsc ITO IN
every thousand died. The heated term swept OF
great proportion OF infants and according 10 Professor
Chandler, the aduiterated milk, against the vehucrs
OF which he wsgcd such determined war, mad aSreat
deal 10 do with IT, The struggles OF the Board OF
Health behalf of the little people since Is creation
IN 1867 may be comprehcnded by the 1oIowlhs
figures furnished by Professor Chandler YESTERDAY =
In that year the deaths among children undcr I'VE
years amounted to no less than 81 per cent Of tne
total mortality oil the year Each year since tncn the
percentage has decreased until IN 1870 II was 4oi
This represents, Professor Chandler says, assuming
that the death ratio OF persons over nve mas @ not
diminished 1857, saving OF tho lives oi S."oo
children In 1875, There 2S cases oil severe Illness
for every death, representing saving OF 81 600 cases
OF this sort Ia 1875. Last year the infant mor'ay
owing to the remarkably heated ter'n ran UP W 4o'<
per cent Of the years total
Another important feature of this part Of the annual
report Is that about onc-ha The people who ded ved
iu tenement houses. The deaths IN tenement houses
were 81 27 OF the total mortality last year, tnosc IN
other residences 81. Al in public institutions 1876.
Tho deaths among the dcnzcns OF tenement houses,
either at their residences or IN Institutions, were
twice great those among people who are properly
housed. For tins reason the Board OF Heaith since
April requires that physicians state on helr certi
of death the number OF families VINO IiEe IN tue

The third feature of public interest Is that the small
