six months ending December 31st, 1902, 558 children were fed
on the milk for varying periods; thirty-two of these lived
outside the Borough, and in sixty additional cases, owing to
wrong addresses being given and to removals, no information
could be obtained as to the subsequent history of the child.
Deducting these cases, there remain 466 children of whom
definite information was obtained. The ages and the deaths
at each age period are given in the following table:—
