Infantile Mortality.
The total number of deaths under one year was 240:—39
in Clapham, 27 in Putney, 37 in Balham, 38 in Streatham,
35 in Tooting, and 64 in Wandsworth. As the number of
births was 4,653, the Infantile Mortality rate was 51 per 1,000
births, compared with 64 last year. The decrease in the rate
is due to the decrease in the number of deaths from Diarrhoea
and Enteritis and diseases of early infancy.
The number of deaths among legitimate infants was 217
to 4,449 births—a mortality of 48 per 1,000 births, while the
number of deaths among illegitimate infants was 23 to 204
births—a mortality of 112 per 1,000 births.
