About this book
Advice to a Mother on the Management of Her Children and on the treatment on the moment of some of their more pressing illnesses and accidents is by Pye Henry Chavasse, Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. The preface says that the book has been translated into French, into German, into Polish, and into Tamil (one of the languages of India). An entry on the clothing of an infant says that a babe's clothing ought to be light, warm, loose, and free from pins.
The text calls it foolish and cruel in the extreme for clothes to reach to the ground when the infant is carried about. One answer says that, with regard to medicine, the best medicine is Ipecacuanha Wine, given in large doses, so as to produce constant nausea. The text says hydropathy is oftentimes very serviceable in preventing and in curing costiveness.
