INFANTILE MORTALITY.
The deaths of 1,548 infants, who had not lived twelve months,
were registered. These represent a mortality of 160 per 1,000
children born during the year. This proportion of infantile deaths
to births is the highest experienced in Islington since 1893, and is
14 per 1,000 births more than the average of the fourteen years
1885-98. Infantile mortality is unusually low in this district. Indeed it
compares very favourably with that experienced in the large centres
of population. Even the present mortality, though high for the
Parish, is lower than that which obtained in the 33 Great Towns,
in which it was 181, also than that of the 67 Other Large Towns,
where it was 178 per 1,000 births.
