HIGH INFANT DEATH RArp
DR. READ THINKS 1T is DUE To
IMPROPER FOOD AND EX-
CESSIVE HEAT

Dr. Henry N Read. professor of ebu5-.-,
diseases the Long Island College HospitaI -
talk at his home No. sss Clinton-st BrookIvn "a
evening with a Tribune reporter regarding -
great mortality among iEfants in BROOKLYN .ht
summer. said:
I'm Brooklyn for several years past il has ~
noticed that there has been a higher rnortar,.-
among infants at the breast than In Manhatta, :.
the time of the year. This excessive rortaI,
is confined entirely to children affected pi,s
diarrhoeaI diseases. In my opinion the high ds,+s
rate among Brooklyn children due to ir1pro,a
food coupled with intense heat That the hear -
course. is a powerful factor is shown fy the fs.e
that in the winter do have this trouble vrftr
children that artihcially fed. Whether the min
in New-York is better than in Brooklyn an, ,ra-
BILE to say but since Mr. Straus and other ubfaD
thropists have established milk depOts much h..
been done for the children of the poor er classes ~
Manhattan to supply them with proper milk
1T is of prime Importance to nursing child tba,
the milk it gets is pure or, the doctors wouId
put it, free from bacteria Milk is the most sus-
ceptibIe OF articles food that we know of ,o
climatic changes, and in hot weather it is alrnos,
impossible to get milk which shall be free from,
bacteria. The difference in quality of the milk
supply in Manhattan and Brooklyn probably ac
counts to some for difference in the death
rate among infants in the boroughs Buf
this alone does not appear to be sufficient
fully to account for it. What need to ac-
count fully for the difference is the death
rate among children nursed at the breast and that
of children fed artfhciaIy in the two boroughs We
must know in all of the fatal cases reported how
many infants nursed at the breast and how
many were fed artifcialy. Whether more New
York women nurse their babies than BROOKLYN
women among the poorer classes I unable to
say, but until this question is answered by statistics
the final question will be unsOlyed-
THE use of stertiZed or PaSteUriZed. milk in tina
case of the poor and ignorant, or simply boiled
milk helps to check diarrhCeal diseases among in
fants in hot weather. This has, of course, been
advised and practised by ply hysicians for years. but
poverty prevents many persons from buying the
properly prepared milk and the steriIizing Of milk
at home by the unskilled and ignorant is naturally
very imperfect.
