Care Of Children And Mothers Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Our Baby: A Concise and Practical Guide for the Use of Mothers in the Care and Feeding of Infants and Young Children The acute infectious diseases (diphtheria, scarlet fever, chicken pox, measles, etc.) have not been mentioned because they are, without exception, conditions which should be treated by a physician. In case of sickness, no mother or nurse should depend upon any book in caring for a baby, but upon the advice of a physician, who should be one well trained and experlenced in diseases peculiar to children. If a baby is sick, the physician ought to be summoned at once; and in no case should a mother attempt to prescribe for her child - disregard of this rule has caused thousands of lives to be lost. This book is not intended to supplant or to be a substitute for the physician; therefore prescrip tions have not been given.
