Abstract

The medical profession is very reluctant to adopt new standards, but having been once convinced as to their correctness, they are just as loath to discard them. The result is that certain standards such as weights and measures, for example, are copied by one writer after another for years without any one, or at least very few, taking the trouble to verify their correctness. Standards which are correct in one country are often quite incorrect in another country, under different conditions. The following observations were made from the charts in the ward for new-born of the University Hospital where, owing to the efforts of Dr. Sedgwick, chief of the Pediatric Department, and the cooperation of Dr. Litzenberg, chief of the Obstetric Clinic, all new-born infants come under the pediatrics service directly after birth. The points to be ascertained from an analysis of the charts were as follows: The average birth
