colitis, those cases being inclu(ied in the previous table. The 

 majority of the infants were extremely emaciated, and many 

 presented a bronchopneumonia; diseases of the skin were fre- 

 quent among them. For the most part, they come under the 

 head of those cases which in the hospital wards for children 

 are usually styled "feeding cases." These, however, do not in- 

 clude all the cases. It is an open question whether these cases 

 are accounted for simply by poor or injudicious feeding, by 

 actual, exogenous infection, or by the action of the normal flora 

 of the intestine under unfavorable conditions. Careful bacte- 

 riological examination of the faeces before or after death in 

 a series of these cases might produce data of academic or scien- 

 tific value, but the practical fact remains that careful nursing 

 under hygienic conditions is the remedy.
