Diseases of Infant & Children

This book offers a practical contribution to the alleviation and cure of those diseases which are of most frequent and fatal occurrence. The present work is, from beginning to end, based on preventive as well as curative treatment. The book is not simply a combination from other works of the author. Some of the sections are entirely new; and in all of them important additions and alternations have been made, so as to bring the work abreast with the most recent advances in medicine; and, while such special points on diagnosis and treatment have been introduced as are calculated to render the manual a useful guide to the treatment of the diseases of infancy and childhood.
