of breast-fed infants.
Those who survive are by no means free from suffering.

At the end of the first year they are found to weigh about 25 per cent.

less than the breast-fed, and to be much shorter; they are more liable to tuberculosis and rickets, with all the evil results that flow from these diseases; and there is some reason to believe that the development of their teeth is injuriously affected.

The degenerate character of the artificially-fed is well indicated by the fact that of 40,000 children who were brought for treatment to the Children's Hospital in Munich, 86 per cent.

had been brought up by hand, and the few who had been suckled had usually only had the breast for a short time.
