INFANTILE MORTALITY.
The number of deaths of Hampstead children under 1 year was 91,
an increase of 12 as compared with the previous year
The "Infantile Mortality"—ie, the number of deaths under one
year per 1000 births-was 68.7, as compared with the rate of 62 per 1000
births in 1912, this figure being calculated on the total number of births
belonging to Hampstead, including those that occurred in lying-in
institutions outside Hampstead The average rate for the years 19081912
was 69-6.
The infantile death-rate for the year 1913, 68.7, was very low, and
only in two previous years has a lower rate been reached, viz, in 1910,
when the rate was 60, and in 1912, when the rate was 62
