Infant mortality in New York.

New York, July 16.- The growing
disposition on the part OF mothers to
resort to artificial feeding OF their babies
is, in a large measure, responsible for
the frightful increase in infant mortality
in New York, " today declared Sanitary
Superintendent Bensel. DIR Bensel was
discussing the alarming figures com
piled by the Department of Health,
which showed that since January LIST
SAB babies have died in Greater New
York. against 54S for a corresponding
period of last year. In the week ended
June 10th 102 babies died in Manhat-
tan alone. Only 81 died in the same
neriod of 1909. Many other New York
physicians agree with DIR. Bensel that
improper feeding is causing the alarm
lug increase in deaths. j.,
Health Commissioner Lederle vii
appoint commission of physicians t'
learn definitely the cause OF excessive
infant mortality and try to check 1t.
