where the parents fail. Resolved,

NATIONAL HEALTH PROBLEM STATED
BY DR.. WADSWORTH
Annual Loss To Country From Preventable
Disease Is Appalling

during the next twelve months. This
is more than twice the population of
Maine. forty-one times that of Som
erset county, 2S0 As times the entire
population of Skowhegan. From
twenty to twenty-five per cent of
these are infants under one year old.
Strenuous work should be done to
save these babies.
The most fundamental cause of in
FAINT mortality is infancy itself, the
period when the organism has feeb-
lest resistance to adverse conditions.
This is shown by the fact that % per
cent of first year deaths are in the
first month, and "a per cent during
the second and third months.
That almost all infant deaths are
from accidental .eansas rather than
inherent weakness should startle us
into greater carefulness. Accidental
deaths are largely preventable
deaths Herein is the sin and dis
grace of the matter. Herein also is
the hope and possibility OF improve
meut
Chiefly the fundamental causes of
deGth are conditions of poverty, ig-
nOrance and neglect. Poverty forces
mothers 10 work, poorly houses and
overcrowds both them and their ba-
bies. affords improper or inefficient
food. Ignorance chiefly emphasizes
the same evils, while neglect may
come from same, but is more often
due to intemperance and vice.
These fundamental causes open the
way for diseases, three groups OF
IL. Of ira,Y1
date causes of infant mortality,
namely. first the acute CASTRO
Intestinal; second, prematurity. con-
genital debility, and marasmus; third,
acute respiratory diseases, such as
bronchitis and pneumonia.
The manner of feeding, also a fac
tor, is of first Importance in infant
mortality This is true because so
large a part of CASTRO intestinal trou-
bles arise from improper food or the
unsanitary conditions in which it is
prepared and given
Nutrition also depends on manner
of feeding, and healthful nutrition is
the chief defense against every form
of acute disease.
tuberculosis is most rapacious
enemy of child life. Much of it is
overlooked in general practice, as it
is often present with cases of simple
bronchopneumonia, at least to per
cent of bronchopneumOnia cases be-
ing tubercular also.
Poverty and ignorance, intemper-
anc and vice, must go, or the babies
will.
A few remedial facts are signiti-
cant. Breast-fed infants have tre-
mendous advantage. OF one thousand
of them under three months old only
twenty died; while of bottle-fed ones
the rate was three hundred per thous-
end OF one thousand fatal cases in
New York in 1908. only 80 We're
nursed by the mothers; $40 being bot
tie fed. Englands record shows
practically the same facts.
1t is not, however, simply artificial
feeding that is dangerous, but the
many incidental evils arising from it.
OF these, poor or diseased infected
milk, improper care of bottles, the
greater ease with which mother and
