Children Die
By thousands

years, there could be prevented the
following numbers: Premature
birth, 40: congenital debility. 40;
|yencreal diseases, 10; diarrhoea and
lenteritis, the most important cause
l'of infant mortality, so; measles. 40;
acute bronchitis, 80; bronchopneu-
MONA. so; whooping cough. 40;
Group (which means diphtheria) /.
IA; diseases OF larynx other than
Ilaryngitis, 40; laryngitis, 40; diph-
iberia (under Its proper appellation)
10; scarlet fever, so.
Other diseases especially fatal to
infants and children would perhaps
show equally great ratios of pre-
entability; they do not appear in the
above list because their median ages
are above the limit chosen or be-
cause, as is the case with 'convul-
sions,' they are grouped with other
and incolgruous causes. :
THE possible saving of life for
general, ill-defined and unknown
causes including heart failure,
dropsy and commissions, median age
S5 years, is 80 per cent. The median
age of .convulsions' alone is less than
one year, and 1t is probable that at
least the ratio of preventahility OF
Idiarrhoea and enteritis eco per cent y
would apply to it. The term is an
Indefinite one, being expressive mere
ly of the symptoms attending the
TRUE cause of death; nevertheless no
fewer than 6,540 beats were compiled
therefrom for 1908 although in COM
Ipilation, any other definite cause IS
preferred. The term is no longer
employed by. well-informed phys
iclans in reporting causes of death.
and 1t is possible, by inquiry made
by the local registrar after the re-
Iceipt of this and other satisfactory
statements. to practically eliminate
them from the returns. as has lately
lbeen done for Chicago.
in the light of the figures quoted
above it would seem that practical
sanitation has only made a begin
ming in the work of preventing the
occurrence of infant and child NOR
tally. The ground has only been
scratched over. Deep stirring OF the
soil and thorough cultivation of all
the means available. with our ,pres-
lent scientific and medical knowledge
for the guarding of young human
lives would produce startling, and
from all past human experience al
most unbelievable, results. Public
health, as function of government,
is itself only creation of the mid
die part Of the last century, dating
from the utilization of the knowl-
ledge available as a result OF the OPP
Grafton Of the English laws for the
registration of vital statistics
t1Ss7). Even in England, however,
d
no systematic efforts have been mada
until very recent years to utilize to
their utmost possibilities the facts
ALREADY known. The infant mortali-
ty of England was higher for the
year 1895 to 1900 than for the year
1861 to 1855, and no marked reduc-
tion in the early rates occurs until
the present decade.
1T is time that greater attention
be given to the subject in the United
States. The prompt registration of
all iberths and the more careful and
precise statement OF causes of death
by physicians are essential. suca
terms as Commissions 'marasmus,
debility and the like should no
longer be tolerated when the true
cause of death can be determined"
