INFANT MORTALITY IS
GREATEST PROBLEM NOW
ACUTE COMMUNICABLE DIS
EASES CONTROLLED: IT.
b." MOST TROUBLESOME

! Rochester, ~ Y, Sept. S.-Governoi
Charles S. Whitman in an address OF
welcome to the American Public
Health association here last night
said that in pruning state expenses
public health activities should be cur
tailed "only in the very last necessi.
ty." He expressed his regret that the
last session of the New York state
legislature had failed to make ade-
quate appropriations for health work.
He also said, in part:
There were over 100000 deaths in
New York state during the year 1914
and if the estimates of the committee
of 1OC ON the conservation of human
vitality are to be relied upon, 40 per
cent of this mortality might have been
prevented Think of it-over $4,000
lives needlessly lost in one state dur
ing a single year.
"Over $4,000 of these 100000 deaths
occurred among infants under one
year of age; and this fraction of the
death rate is that which appeals most
strongly to our sympathies while it
offers the most brilliant opportunities
of service to the public health worker.
New York has devoted special at
tention to this problem and with most
gratifying results. In 1913 the infant
rate for the state was 109
deaths under one year for every 1000
births. In 1914 it fell to 101 and 1915
has SO far shown a better record even
than 1914. This reduction corresponds
to a saving of nearly 1000 infant lives
v hich il itself is a splendid return on
the total cost Of maintaining our state
and local departments of health.
"The acute communicable diseases,
such as typhoid fever, diphtheria,
scarlet fever and the like, are passing
year by year more completely within !
our control. Diphtheria remains by |
ar the most important of this group
II acute contagious diseases; and If,
rs | am assured the 1000 annual
.eathf from this disease in New York
state are due largely to delay or neg
ect in applying a simple efficient
'emedy in the form of diphtheria
