EFFECTS OF SHOES ON FOOT FORM: AN ANATOMICAL EXPERIMENT

The mortality in Australia over the years 1908 to 1945 from infections of the bowel has been analysed. There has been a great fall in the mortality from typhoid fever over this period; it is now a quite minor cause of mortality. Gastro-enteritis and the dysenteries were formerly a great cause of mortality at all ages, especially in infancy. but are now a cause of fewer deaths. Cholera and typhus have not been important causes of death in Australia over the period of the survey. References.
