A Special Mortality among Infants at Loughton 53863 [Title: A Special Mortality among Infants at Loughton, in the Epping Rural Sanitary District] [Author: William Henry Power] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/3/8/6/53863 ] [Files: 53863-0.txt; 53863-h.htm] For those wishing to know: A government report into a tragic incident that happened at Loughton, Essex, England in 1877. Starting in 1877 over the space of months 29 babies sickened and 13 died. Power was sent to investigate the abnormal death rate and traced it back to a contaminated case of baby lotion, produced in London, which contained a high amount of arsnic. What's really heart-rendering is that Power interviewed the mothers of each child, and tells their story. All the best, David, Damnpest England
