"Should be found on every mother's bookshelf."—Morning Post.
"Dr. Bell's most admirable little treatise on children deserves the highest praise. It is so simple that the veriest tyro can understand the directions, and yet there is in its pages an amount of experience and talent in every way worthy of the high reputation of its learned author. Medical books are, as a rule, a mistake, in so far as they enable amateurs to dabble in professional doctoring; but in the present instance this drawback is reduced to a minimum, and the work may with advantage find a home in every family where rosy faces smile and young feet patter."—Allen's Indian Mail.
"The work is one of the best of its class, and the information it contains should be carefully studied by every mother who wishes to fully understand, and to be, as far as possible, equal to dealing with the diseases and ailments to which children are liable."—Nottingham Daily Guardian.
"Must prove of immense service when prompt action is necessary."—Newcastle Daily Chronicle.
"Without empanelling a jury we have submitted the volume to a duly-qualified juror, and are therefore competent to pronounce it a very practical, satisfactory, and useful work."—Bristol Mercury.
"The directions are clear and not embarrassed by tiresome verbiage and mystery."—Bradford Observer.
"It is an excellent work of its kind, and deserves a large sale."—Scotsman.
"We have no hesitation in saying that with this treatise at hand careful parents are well provided against any emergency which may arise until the doctor takes the case in hand."—Leeds Times.
"It is a volume that ought to be in every household where there are children."—Glasgow Daily Mail.
"It should prove a valuable aid to the intelligent understanding of difficult and delicate duties."—Evening Times.
