Hello,

Could anybody give me an idea of what the infant mortality rate was in the 
1800's in Philadelphi? Specifically prior to the 1830's but any 
statistical information would suffice. And if anybody has the rates of 
infant abandonment for that time period and location as well that would be 
great. 

Thanks in advance,

Anna
