An examination of this table shows that the highest infantile death 
rate recorded for these 42 German cities is that of Chemnitz, with a 
total infantile death rate of 271 and a death rate from diarrheal 
diseases of 135.67. As Harrington points out, this latter is greater 
than the total infantile death rate of the city of Barmen (132), and 
is greater than the total infantile death rate of England and Wales
