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.

be noted, are widely different. For committing a wrong act one child
needs punishment, while on a like occasion another child needs advice.
To bring up their children so that they will be vigorous, noble men and
women is the most perplexing problem that confronts mothers and fathers
to-day. Dr. Kerr, from his close association with children, is well
qualified to enlighten parents on these difficulties. In this book he
has given thorough treatment to the training of children, hygiene,
physique, mentality, and morality. After one has read the book there
seems to be no phase of the question that has not been covered. The
young parent wi
