Elementary biology; an introduction to Elementary biology; an introduction to the science of life elementarybiolog00grue Year: 1924 1905 1906 1907 1908 1909 1910 1911 1912 1913 1914 1915 1916 1917 Fig. 204. The reduction of infant mortality in New York City This diagram shows, month by month, for a period of thirteen years, the proportion of infants (under one year old) who died to the infants bom. There is a variation from month to month, with a very striking increase in the number of deaths during the summer months. When the records showed this big jump in 1905, physicians and nurses and sanitary experts at once took steps to discover the causes and to devise preventive measures. Year by year we can see a steady improvement. So much effort has been made to protect the children for the bad month of July, that in recent years this month has showed off rather better than the others, and August and September have become the bad months. With increased knowledge, and especially with wider application of the knowledge we already have, the high points on these black spots will be cut down, and the general level of the spots will be considerably lowered. This is but another way of showing that applied biology saves hundreds of thousands of lives
