A comparison of the causes of Infantile Mortality in 1925 with
those of the preceding year shows a decrease during last year
in the deaths from Pneumonia and Debility; whereas there was
an increase in the deaths from Enteritis.
The causes contributing to a high rate of mortality have been
discussed in previous reports, and it will suffice to call attention to
the fact that of 52 children who died under the age of one year,
22 deaths were ascribed to Prematurity, Wasting, and Congenital
Defects, and 10 to Bronchitis and Pneumonia, a total of 32 deaths
resulting from these causes.
