The classification adopted in the diagram in the opposite
page is largely provisional, as there is no finality in
preventive medicine, and one would hope that deaths under
the heading of Premature Birth and Congenital Malformations,
19 in all, may become more preventible as ante-natal
influences are better known and understood.
There were four deaths under one year of age from
Measles, and this should be, at any rate, to a large extent
preventible.
