Separate chapters chap-ters arc given to each month, with directions direc-tions most minute and comprehensive what to do, how to do It, and all the formulas for-mulas of food, care, dress, and dosing fully set forth, and it Is noteworthy for the benefit of this unbelieving community that vaccination is unhesitating and un-qucstlonliigly un-qucstlonliigly prescribed. The llrst year, directions arc month by month; then by half years lo the end of the third year, then the fourth to the seventh year, with an especial chapter on "Backward Children." Child-ren." An appendix considers proprietary foods, with a general caution about their use; nnd It describes, both as to material and cost, the baby's first wardrobe. The work Is elaborately and Intelligently indexed, in-dexed, which adds much to Its value as a practical help to the young mother. Taken all together, for cloarncas of direction, practicality of treatment, and good common com-mon sense. It ls probably the best wcrk on the- subject extant. |
