The infantile mortality statistics for Lambeth Borough
during 1910 are again remarkable, and, even allowing for the
favourable meteorological conditions that existed, are worthy
of note as shewing that the methods adopted throughout the
Borough of Lambeth for the prevention of infantile mortality
appear to be proving successful. In this connection, the
systematic visiting of houses wherein births have been
notified, and the widespread distribution of pamphlets on
infant-feeding, together with the influence of the Municipal
Milk Depot, must not be forgotten (vide Milk Depot pp.
149-160). The results should prove even more satisfactory
as the Notification of Births Act, 1907, becomes more
generally known.
