Excerpt from The Public Health Journal of Canada, Vol. 1: Incorporating the Canadian Therapeutist and Sanitary Engineer; October, 1910 Regarding the' death rate in England, Newman points out that 30 per cent. Of the mortality under one year of age occurs during the first month, and that the mortality is one-third higher in urban than in rural districts. The Registrar-general classifies the causes as (1) common infectious diseas es; (2) diarrhoeal diseases; (3) wasting diseases; (4) tubercular diseases; (5) other causes. It is worthy of notice that while the deaths under one year have not, in England, shown any notable de cline, those between one and five years have, since 1860, shown a decline of 40 per cent., due in large measure to the municipal control of contagious-diseases.
