Book Description

Excerpt from How to Feed Children, a Manual for Mothers: Nurses, and Physicians The substance of a number of papers that have appeared during the last two years in various journals has been embodied in this book upon the request of members of the medical profession, mothers, and others interested in children. These articles have been carefully revised, and much additional material has been used. All statements made are based upon facts accepted very generally by scientists and physicians both here and abroad, where the greatest amount of original research has been made, and authority for these facts, when not credited in the text, may be found in the works of the following writers, which have been studied very carefully, in connection with much other reading relative to the subject: "Pediatrics," T. M. Rotch, M.D.; "Infant Diet" and "Therapeutics of Infancy and Childhood," A. Jacobi, M.D.; "Food in Health and Disease," I. Burney Yeo, M.D., F.R.C.P.; u Diet after Weaning" (Keating's "Cyclopaedia"), by Samuel S. Adams, A.M., M.D.; "The Mother's Work with Sick Children," Professor J. B. Fonssagrives; "Practical Dietetics," W. Gilman Thompson, M.D. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
