THE
HEALTH-CARE
OF THE
BABY
By LOUIS FISCHER, M.D.
"THE HEALTH-CARE OF THE BABY" is a book that should be in the hands of every mother and nurse. Every mother should be acquainted with those ills that are common to babies. She should know what to do when a doctor can not be had readily; while traveling, for instance. In this book Dr. Fischer, and he has had wide experience in the treatment of children, gives suggestions and advice for feeding the infant in health, and when the stomach and bowels are out of order. The book also tells how to manage a fever, and is a guide to measles, croup, skin diseases and other ailments. It tells what to do in case of accidents, poisons, etc. The correction of bad habits and the treatment of rashes are given careful consideration.
"This book will be found of great assistance to mothers generally, dealing with a subject of great interest to the new, as well as to the old mother. Teething is properly rid of its horrors by positive statements that it is a normal process entirely. The chapter on Infant Feeding is very practical and thorough. We commend the book to all mothers."—Monthly Journal of Medicine and Surgery, Louisville.
