Greetings everyone,

I'm interested in the overall effects of -- and motives for -- public health measures when the Temperance movement was blooming. I heard, for example, that in 19th century London one out of three children died before the age of five. I also heard that it was much worse in the 18th century. Does anyone know if that's correct?

Thanks


Peter
