The preliminary vital statistics for the first quarter of 1935 are now available and they showadisturbing ‘hlcrease in the number of infant deaths due to influenza, pneumonia and bronchitis, and to two diseases. measles and whooping cough, which only too frequently ' end up in broncho~ -» pneumonia, especially when these two diseases have been regarded with an undue degree oi complacency. The months of Janu- . sly-February and March in this year were particularly deadly to child llie in this group of diseases. Therefore, a special effort is being made to reach parents throughout Canada in these next few weeks. urging on them the necessity oi special precautions and pl fectlon of the baby and young child in the next three ‘to four months against the dangers of the group of respiratory diseases and these primary diseases which contribute to a high death rate usually from a complicating pneumonia.
