Abstract
THE Medical Officer's Supplement to the forty-third Annual Report of the Local Government Board for 1913-14 (Cd. 7612, price 1s. 11d.), while it deals mainly with matters primarily of medical interest, of necessity includes within its scope much that is of value to all scientific minds. The question of infant mortality occupies a pro. minent place, and one notes with satisfaction that the general trend of the curve continues in a downward direction. Greater provision is likely to be made in the near future for the care of expectant mothers, and the official recognition of an ante-natal state, though somewhat belated, is none the less welcome. Much good work has been done by voluntary agencies in the past, and the linking up of this with the various organisations dealing with child welfare must inevitably tend to a healthier future race.
