    10 Infantile Mortality.—The deaths under one year of age in the Borough during 1915 numbered 520. This is an increase of 28 upon the number of infants' deaths recorded during 1914. The infant mortality rate for the year is 107 per 1,000 births. The increased rate is due chiefly to an increase in the number of deaths from bronchitis and pneumonia. Other special causes of infant deaths deserving mention are premature birth (72), diarrhoea (95), atrophy, debility and marasmus (78). TABLE IV.—INFANT MORTALITY 1915.
