![Of 118 babies artificially [fed, the feeding was as follows : Cows’ milk go, condensed milk 15, and patent foods »3- The kind of feeding bottle in use is very important, information was obtained in 110 cases and with one exception a boat shaped bottle with an india-rubber teat was used. Four infants were provided with dummies ; these are a frequent source of flatulence and other troubles. It was ascertained that 120 out ot 261 infants slept in a cot (less than half), the remainder slept with the mother ; the danger of over-lying is well known. In one case the clothing was unsatisfactory. In 6 houses there was insufficient ven- tilation, and in 4 insufficient light. Eighteen houses were damp, 6 were dirty, and in 6 the water supply was inadequate. I am indebted to Miss ].
