HEALTH IN NEW ZEALAND
.MEDICAL JOURNAL'S COMMENTS. IMPRESSED WITH POSITION. In a review of the last annual report of the New Zealand Department of Health the Brittsn Medical Journal, just received, says that the part which Is. of most general interest is Dr. M'Kibbin’s report, in which the vital statistics of the Dominion are tabulated. After quoting the satisfactorily low general and infantile death rates, the journal remarking that “probably in no other country in the world is the death rate from all causes so. low,” it is pointed out that “special features of an outstanding character in the report arc the expansion and influence of the Health Department’s, maternal welfare services under Dr. Jellett, Dr. Faget, and Dr. Elaine Gurr, as also the excellent account of the Division of School Hygiene under the direction of Dr. Ada Patprsion. An inquiry into the geographical distribution of goitre in school children and its relation to the amount of iodine in the soil was conducted by Dr. B’kerM’Laglan', and is of much interest, as it demonstrated in a striking manner the relationship of goitre incidence to low iodine content.” 1
