It will be seen that our Infant Mortality is very high; this
is explainable by the number of children who died during the
summer months from epidemic Diarrhoea. This disease was
prevalent all over England during August; in London at this
time the deaths of children under one year per thousand births
was 243.

We will reopen our library, along with the rest of Wellcome Collection, on Tuesday 18 May
