The Sanitary Committee, acting on behalf of the Vestry in
the selection of articles for analysis, have had regard to the high
rate of mortality which exists among very young children,
which is doubtless due in many instances to the inferior quality
of the milk, which constitutes their sole diet, and they have
continued to give special attention to this important article of
food.
