Utilizing the principle that care of bowel discharges is the most important single measure for the control of fatal infantile diarrhea in the South, the Richmond authorities have reduced the mortality from this cause from 150 per 100,000 in 1911 to 36 in 1919. Public health nurses have done this through health education of the family.
