Infant Mortality in Germany

A SAD but true testimony to the breaking down of the vitality of the human race is seen in the record of births and deaths, given by the American consul-general at Berlin. He says:—
With all the progress of German medicine and surgery, with all the amelioration that improved midwifery and skilful nutrition have provided, the infant death record is here, as elsewhere, a pathetic and lamentable one. Of the whole 1,234,033 deaths in Germany during 1903, no fewer than 494,529, or 34.5 per cent, were of children under one year of age.
