The Infant Welfare society has twenty-three stations in conjested districts of the city each equipped with a staff comprising a doctor · and nurses. Mothers bring their babies to these stations, undress them and they are weighed and measured and examined by the doctor who advises the mother what to do to keep the baby well. The nurse then makes regular follow-up visits in the home to teach the mother how to carrr out the doctor's instructions and keep the baby well. Gaud Chilcl'a Health Babies wbo are definitely sick are sent to the mother's own doctor or to a free dispensary but children who are suffering from malnutrition or unsanitary living conditions are the special province of the Infant Welfare society. At nineteen of the twenty-three ~tations care is given to tbe child from two to six years of age as well as to the baby and for these older children there are trained dietitians to handle food problems of the growing child. Eleven of the stations give pre-natal care to the mother which means that more live babies are born and babies start life in better condition. The society's infant mortality rate for the year 1927 was 9.9 deaths for every 1,000 babies cared for from birth to two years of age. The mortality rate for the whole of Chicago was 62.75 deaths per 1.000 live babies born from birth to one year of age. The rate achieved bv ·the Infant Welfare Society is based on two years of life as compared to one year for the city, but the result shows what could be accomplished by proper health supervision among babies of all classes.
