The infantile mortality is the lowest of the Boroughs in the Eastern
portion of the Metropolis, and, indeed, compares very favourably with the
other districts in London. Though the mortality in the Limehouse District
is lower than in previous years, it is still too high, and maintains its position
of having nearly the highest infantile mortality in London.
